Simulation Assessment
30
You must try the simulation before answering the questions.

This simulation draws pedigrees, based on the ratios you learned in Chapters 16 and 17. Select a mode of inheritance and other settings, then click "Generate Pedigree" to see one possibility for the inheritance of a single trait, based on the settings you choose. Click "Show Carriers" to see which individuals are unaffected, but have one allele for the trait. Clicking "Generate Random Pedigree" draws a family tree and hides the mode of inheritance and parental genotypes. Can you determine the mode of inheritance for the randomly drawn trees, based on who is and is not affected?

Questions

Question

Using the following settings, press "Generate Pedigree" (NOT "Generate Random Pedigree") three to six times, and notice the frequency of affected sons and daughters in the F1 to F4 progeny.

Settings:
Mode of inheritance - X-linked recessive
Parental generation -
Male - Nonmutant
Female - Heterozygous
Matings between relatives - disallow
Progeny in first generation - 4
Show carriers - turn on
