Hyperdactyly (the possession of more than 12 finger) is determined by the dominant allele (H) and normal condition by recessive allele (h). The diagram shows a family tree in which some members of the family are hyperdactylus [image:5_image28.png] Find out the genotype of $A,B$ and $C$

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

Dominant allele shows its effect in homozygous or heterozygous condition and recessive allele shows its effect only in homozygous condition. Given pedigree chart possible only when the male parent in heterozygous for hyperdactyle. If it is homozygous for hyperdactyle then its son would also be the hyperdactyle as well
