In a pedigree a rare trait appears in both sexes with equal

In a pedigree, a rare trait appears in both sexes with equal frequency, and affected offspring often has one affected parent. What is the MOST likely mode of inheritance? Autosomal recessive Autosomal dominant X-linked recessive X-linked dominant Y-linked Since linked genes segregate together, they would be expected to: not show dominance. not assort independently. produce a novel phenotype by gene interaction. show incomplete dominance. None of the above

Solution

5. Autosmal dominanat would have equaly frquency appearance in both sex (so not x and y linked) and always an affected parents only would give a affected off spring

7. Linked gene would show dominanace if they are domianat and would assort independently on recombiantion other wise not. they will show complate dominanace unless they ahve intereaction to other gene. so option E is best answer here
