A genetic disorder has been studied through multiple generations using pedigree analysis. Every person expressing the
trait has an affected parent, and both sexes are equally affected. This suggests what sort of trait and why? What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: That both males and females are equally impacted suggests the trait is autosomal. That all
those expressing the trait suggest it is dominant. Thus, it is an autosomal dominant trait.
