The document discusses the inheritance pattern of a genetic condition as demonstrated in a pedigree. It identifies the condition as autosomal recessive, noting that both parents are carriers. Additionally, it explains the difference between dominant and recessive alleles in terms of genetic expression.

![For the pedigree on the right, individuals affected with the genetic condition are indicated by the
shaded symbols. A) Based on this pedigree, what type of inheritance does this genetic condition
have (dominant, recessive, sex-linked)? Explain. B) What is the genotype of the parents? C)
What makes an allele dominant or recessive? O-TI ] 60-Do
Solution
It represents recessive genetic inheritence in which both the parents are carriers and belong to
autosomal recessive groups. If an allele, which is made of gene needs only one gene to show up
is termed as dormant and if it requires two genes to show up is termed as recessive.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/forthepedigreeontherightindividualsaffectedwiththegenetic-230707113748-ce11320a/85/For-the-pedigree-on-the-right-individuals-affected-with-the-genetic-pdf-1-320.jpg)
