1. The Jones family is planning to have another
child. Mrs. Jones is the proud mom of 3 healthy
boys. In her heart, she has always wanted a
daughter. What are her chances of her next baby
being a girl? Show with a Punnett square.
2. In cats, black fur is codominant to orange fur.
Heterozygotes are black & orange, called “calico”.
Fur color is also sex-linked. In a Punnett, cross a
black female with an orange male. Show the %
results of the offspring.

Pedigree Charts
The family tree of genetics
What is a Pedigree?
• A pedigree is a chart of the genetic history
of family over several generations.
• Scientists or a genetic counselor would find
out about your family history and make this
chart to analyze.
Constructing a Pedigree
 Female
 Male
Connecting Pedigree Symbols
Examples of connected symbols:
 Parents
 Siblings
Example
 What does a pedigree chart look like?
Symbols in a Pedigree Chart
 Affected
 “Normal”
 Deceased
Interpreting a Pedigree Chart
Determine whether the disorder is dominant or
recessive.
– If the disorder is dominant, one of the
parents must have the disorder.
– If the disorder is recessive, neither
parent has to have the disorder because
they can be heterozygous.
Example of Pedigree Charts
 Dominant or Recessive?
Answer
 Dominant

 Recessive
Summary
 Pedigrees are family trees that explain your
genetic history.
 Pedigrees are used to find out the
probability of a child having a disorder in a
particular family.
 To begin to interpret a pedigree, determine if
the disease or condition is dominant or
recessive.
