Activity 66 • Patterns in Pedigrees
... Most human traits, such as height, for example, are the results of inter actions between many genes and environmental factors. But some hereditary diseases in humans, such as the Marfan syndrome (see Activity 56, “Joe’s Dilemma”), are caused by a single gene. Pedigrees from several generations of ...
