pedigree chart
Family tree illustration
A pedigree chart is a diagram showing family relationships across generations, used in genetics to track how traits or conditions are inherited.
The chart uses standardized symbols—squares for males, circles for females, filled shapes for affected individuals—connected by lines indicating marriages and descent.
The pedigree chart showed the trait skipping a generation.
