Question

Select the statement(s) that are true about pedigrees.

F1 represents the first offspring of the parents.

A circle represents a female and a square represents a male.

F2 represents the second offspring generation.

P represents the parent generation.

Pedigrees show possible allele combinations

Answer 1

True:
- F1 represents the first offspring (first filial) generation.
- A circle = female and a square = male.
- F2 represents the second offspring (second filial) generation.
- P represents the parent generation.

False:
- "Pedigrees show possible allele combinations." Pedigrees show family relationships and phenotypes; you can use them to infer possible genotypes/allele combinations, but the pedigree itself does not directly display allele combinations.
