Your task As chief investigators of the South Carolina law enforcement division, it is your job to analyze the data
to determine who stole the money and what their motive may have been
Where to begin
1. Draw this family's pedigree to help you discover who is guilty on the blank sheet you picked up).
a. Make sure it is neat. Each generation should be marked with roman numerals on the left of your tree
and all individuals of that generation should be on the same horizontal level (use a rulerl). Do a
rough draft in pencil below the data table FIRST!
Write the names of each family member on the shapes.
c. Write the blood types of each family member above the shapes. (Phenotypes, not genotypes).
d Shade in every person who has an attached carlobe. Then, use what you know about determining
inheritance patterns in a pedigree to determine the inheritance pattom of attached carlobes, and write
in all genotypes for this trait under cach shape. If the genotype is unknown for the second allele in
dominant phenotypes, write both options
c. Determine the genotypes for blood type of Joseph and his family members. Write these in a different
color next to each blood type phenotype. Since you don't know Joseph's genotype, you will need to
work backwards. This may take a little trial and crror, so be patient! Start by writing in the
genotypes you know must be true. (Hint: If someone has blood type AB, you know their genotype is
AB)
[ List the suspects off to the side, based on the two pieces of evidence collected. Then determine who
the thief was based on the information you gathered. Think about motive. The person who stole the
money may not have stolen it for themselves.
