Can someone explain this? Idk why E its the correct answer.
Hi! here’s how i answered this question:
5 is X-linked recessive so not autosomal
4 could be Y-linked so not autosomal
3 could be explained by autosomal recessive
Choosing between 1) and 2) was more difficult:
1 as autosomal dominant works, offspring Pp have the trait
1 as autosomal recessive also works, offspring PP have the trait
2 as autosomal dominant works
2 can’t work as autosomal recessive as we have will not be able to produce the first offspring: pp x PP would give healthy Pp carriers
Let me know if i’m wrong or if you need me to upload the fully drawn out pedrigrees , hope this helps!
