- DA-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
Correct answer
B. A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3
Step-by-step solution
In human pedigree analysis: - A diamond symbol represents sex unspecified. - A solid (filled) circle represents an affected female. - A double horizontal line between a male and female represents consanguineous mating (mating between relatives). - A diamond with a number inside (e.g., 5) represents that number of unaffected offspring. Therefore, the correct match is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3. Answer: A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3
