Question

how might you distinguish an autosomal dominant trait from autosomal recessive trait when viewing a pedigree chart

Answer 1

Answer:

Determine if the chart shows an autosomal or sex-linked (usually X-linked) trait. For example, in X-linked recessive traits, males are much more commonly affected than females. In autosomal traits, both males and females are equally likely to be affected (usually in equal proportions).
