A) (1 pt) Based on the data in Figure 1, identify which of
the following best describes the inheritance pattern of
Friedreich's ataxia?

Autosomal recessive inheritance is a condition in which a genetic trait or disease can be passed from parent to child. The condition of Friedreich ataxia is transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner.

Friedreich ataxia is a disease in which a person has difficulty in walking, absence of sensations in arms and limbs, and impaired speech. The disease is caused due to a defect in the FXN gene.

The disease is a type of autosomal recessive disorder in which the offspring will be affected only when the individual has both the copies of affected genes in each cell.

Generally, an individual carries only one copy of the gene and is referred to as a carrier.

Friedreich ataxia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

Explanation:

Autosomal recessive disorder is a type of disorder which occurs only when abnormal genes are present in both cells. Autosomal recessive is a method through which disease is passed from parents to offspring. Friedreich's ataxia is a genetic disease that is very rare which causes difficultly in movement from one place to another, a loss of sensation in the arms and legs, and speech in the patients.

voluntary muscles are controlled by the cerebellum.
