    A pedigree is a tool used to show genetic characteristics through generations, with circles representing females and squares representing males. For example, a pedigree can track Cystic Fibrosis through family lines, with open or closed symbols indicating whether a trait is expressed or not expressed. A pedigree only shows the phenotype and not the underlying genotype, so genetic testing is needed to determine if someone is a carrier of a genetic trait.

    Summary Chap.

    7 par 7
    Pedigree = a tool to show a genetic characteristic through generations

    Circle = female
    Square = male
    e.g Cystic Fibrosis (CF) 
    disease (taaislijmziekte)
    open symbol or closed

    You can’t know if someone is a carrier, so it needs to be genetically tested. This is because
    only the Phenotype is shown in the pedigree.
