Determine which of the following pedigrees illustrates an autosomally inherited disorder and which illustrates an X-linked disorder.
1. In autosomal trait both males and females are almost equally affected. Here we can see 2 males and 1 female is affected. So this is an autosomal trait.
2. In X-linked traits, males are much more commonly affected than females. As we can see 3 males and 1 female are affecetd. So the pedigree is X linked.
