Question

Directions: Consider a pedigree that is tracking an autosomal recessive trait, where two recessive alleles (tt) result in the inability to taste a chemical known as PTC. The ability to taste PTC is determined by the presence of a dominant allele (T). Complete the missing boxes in the chart. The first row has been done for you as an example!


*Note: The ability to taste PTC may be more complex than a simple gene trait.
