Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The inheritance pattern of a gene over generations among humans is studied by the pedigree analysis. Character studied in pedigree analysis is equivalent to
A
Quantative trait
B
Mendelian trait
C
Maternal trait
D
Polygenic trait
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solution : The inheritance pattern of a gene over generations among humans is studied by the character studied in the pedigree analysis is equivalent to mendelian trait.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Mendelian trait’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Character studied in the pedigree analysis is equivalent to Mendelian trait.

Detailed explanation-4: -The information from a pedigree makes it possible to determine how certain alleles are inherited: whether they are dominant, recessive, autosomal, or sex-linked. To start reading a pedigree: Determine whether the trait is dominant or recessive. If the trait is dominant, one of the parents must have the trait.

Detailed explanation-5: -A pedigree shows relationships between family members and indicates which individuals have certain genetic pathogenic variants, traits, and diseases within a family as well as vital status. A pedigree can be used to determine disease inheritance patterns within a family.
