Study the pedigree chart given below.



What does it show?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The chart shows the inheritance of a condition like phenylketonuria as an autosomal recessive trait. Parents need to be heterozygous as two of their children are known to be sufferers of the disease. It cannot be recessive sex-linked inheritance because then the male parent would also have to be a sufferer.
