Goals of Pedigree Analysis • 1. Determine the mode of inheritance: autosomal dominant & recessive, sex-linked, etc. • 2. Determine the probability of an affected offspring for a given cross.
Nondisjunction • the failure of one or more pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate normally during meiosis – uneven distribution of chromosomes in eggs or sperm.
