Determine whether the trait has a dominant or recessive pattern of inheritance

Explanation:

This kind of information can be used to predict inheritance patterns in families. Depending on the genotypes, the dominant and recessive alleles and the different crosses, it can be deduced who are carriers of the disease and who express it. Similarly, by letting us know which chromosome (X or Y) is linked to the disease, we can know if the disease will be transmitted to the next generation depending on the genotypes of the parents.
