 As we have already studied in Determining the inheritance pattern of autosomal recessive disorder -

As per this question, The chart shows the inheritance of an autosomal recessive trait like phenylketonuria. An autosomal recessive trait may skip a generation. It appears in case of marriage between two heterozygous individuals (Aa x Aa = 1AA + 2Aa + 1aa), a recessive individual with hybrid (Aa x Aa = 2Aa + 2aa) and  two recessive (aa x aa = all aa).
