When a pedigree shows a condition appearing in a 50:50 ratio between men and women, it is considered autosomal. When the condition predominantly affects males in the pedigree, it is considered x-linked. [6] Some examples of dominant traits include male baldness, astigmatism, and dwarfism. Some examples of recessive traits include small eyes ...
Members of the Keita dynasty of Mali, for example, have had their pedigrees sung by griots during annual ceremonies since the 14th century. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, many ruling clans—most notably those descended from Oduduwa—claim descent from the legendary King Kisra. Here too, pedigrees are recited by griots attached to the royal courts.

Pedigree records are kept by plants breeders and pedigree-based selection is popular in several plant species. Plant pedigrees are different from that of humans, particularly as plant are hermaphroditic – an individual can be male or female and mating can be performed in random combinations, with inbreeding loops. Also plant pedigrees may ...

Genealogy (from Ancient Greek γενεαλογία (genealogía) 'the making of a pedigree') [2] is the study of families, family history, and the tracing of their lineages. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to demonstrate kinship and pedigrees of ...
Mendelian traits behave according to the model of monogenic or simple gene inheritance in which one gene corresponds to one trait. Discrete traits (as opposed to continuously varying traits such as height) with simple Mendelian inheritance patterns are relatively rare in nature, and many of the clearest examples in humans cause disorders.
