geeta was solving some questions on pedigree analysis. one of her problems she remarked the inheritance to be inheritance 'autosomal and recessive ' type. what justification did she gave?

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

The autosomal recessive disorder occurs when both the copies (alleles) of a gene are defective. E.g. Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. Pair of alleles Hb A and Hb S controls the expression of this disease. 
Hb A and Hb A − Normal 
Hb A and Hb − Carrier of disease 
Hb S and Hb S − Diseased
