Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. In the pedigree,the mother is a carrier (indicated by a dot in the circle) and the father is unaffected. They have an affected son.$2$. The affected son marries an unaffected woman and they have two carrier daughters.$3$. This pattern is characteristic of an Autosomal Recessive disorder. If it were $X$-linked recessive,the affected father would pass the trait to all his daughters,making them carriers,but he would not pass it to his sons. Here,the father is affected and the daughters are carriers,which is consistent with an autosomal recessive trait where the mother is a carrier and the father is affected (homozygous recessive). However,looking at the first generation,the mother is a carrier and the father is normal,resulting in an affected son,which is a classic indicator of an Autosomal Recessive trait.
