a. quantitative trait

b. Mendelian trait

c. polygenic trait

d. maternal trait

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (b) Mendelian trait

Explanation: Pedigree analysis can be used to trace the Mendelian disorders and the pattern of their inheritance. The following characteristics are part of pedigree analysis:
Autosomal dominant characteristics
Recessive autosomal characteristics
Sex-linked dominant characteristics
Sex-linked recessive characteristics
Pedigree analysis can be used to trace the inheritance pattern of Mendelian illnesses. A trait is said to as Mendelian if its inheritance pattern complies with Mendel's laws of inheritance. Mendelian traits are therefore equal to the character examined in the pedigree analysis.
Hence, (b) is the correct option.
