Here's a good warm-up exercise. You should be able to determine all possible inheritance patterns for these pedigrees. For now, ignore whether they are autosomal or sex-linked. Determine whether the inheritance is consistent with a dominant or a recessive allele. You may assume that there is a simple Mendelian interaction here: the allele that causes the special phenotype (shaded symbols) is either completely recessive or completely dominant to the wild-type (unfilled symbols).

Pedigree 2:
The solution for Pedigree 2 is below (same notation regarding full-screen view).
