What can be determined from looking at a pedigree?
patterns of familial inheritance. patterns of sex-linked inheritance.
How is the inheritance patter between parents and offspring represented diagrammatically?
Inheritance patterns are the predictable patterns seen in the transmission of genes from one generation to the next.
What are the names of some genetic inheritance patterns?
Some common genetic inheritance patterns include autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, and X-linked recessive. These patterns describe how traits are passed down from parents to offspring.

What is a non-mendilian trait?
A non-Mendelian trait is a heritable feature that does not follow the patterns of inheritance described by Gregor Mendel in his laws of inheritance. These traits may be influenced by multiple genes, the environment, or exhibit more complex inheritance patterns than simple dominance or recessiveness. Examples include traits influenced by epigenetic modifications or mitochondrial DNA inheritance.
