3. A woman's eyebrows are what are called "unibrow". That is, a person can either have two eyebrows, one over each eye, or one fused eyebrow called a unibrow. She seeks genetic counseling to find out the risks for this trait if she has children. She is the youngest of 4 children, the oldest of which is a boy with the trait. The twin siblings (boy and girl) do not have the trait, and neither do either of her parents. Her mother is the youngest of four children; the oldest is a boy, followed by a girl, then a boy. The proband's father is the youngest of four children. His sister is closest in age and has the trait, but his older brothers do not. The proband's maternal grandfather clearly has a unibrow (seen in photographs) as does her paternal grandmother. Her other grandparents do not have the trait. a) Create a pedigree following the American Association of Human Genetics notations. b) What is the mechanism of inheritance? d) What is the Proband's genotype? e) What is the genotype of the Proband's mother's oldest brother? f) What is the genotype of the Proband's paternal grandfather? 3.
