Look at the phenotypes given in the pedigree to work forwards and backwards and figure out the genotypes to the best of your abilities (they can't always be figured out, but they can usually be narrowed down). Common genetic disorders have several patterns of inheritance. They can be dominant/recessive and then X-linked or Y-linked or autosomal. If they are codominant then it will be very obvious as there will be three possible conditions: normal, diseased, and half-diseased half-normal. Let D=disease, N=no disease, and O=no allele on the chromosome at all.
Autosomal is easier to identify.
If D is recessive, the following rules can help identify the genotypes. If D is dominant, the above rules can be modified to apply again. Just think of N as the disease and D as the normal condition.
DxN=half D, half N-->DDxND
DxN=all N-->DDxNN
NxN=quarter D, others N-->NDxND
NxN=all N-->NNxNN or NNxND
(Obviously) DxD-->all D-->DDxDD
Sex-linked is more difficult. Know that if a male expresses something, no matter whether it is dominant or recessive, that is his genotype (N or D). Females are still double-letter (NN, ND, DD). Write down the possible phenotypes of the parents and offspring. Then figure out which genotypes work, and then you can determine if D or N is recessive/dominant.
This cannot be answered unless shown a pedigree.
Population genetics deals with the genetics of large groups of individuals and the statistics/probability/inheritance patterns in those groups. On the whole this field of study does not manipulate genetic material and is not directly involved in breeding studies. One of the primary tenents of population genetics is that an allele will remain in a population at the same frequency as long as it is neither selected for or against. (The Hardy-Wienburg Principle).
There are 2 Types of genetic Inheritance. 1. Polygenic inheritance, also known as quantitative or multi-factorial inheritance refers to inheritance of a phenotypic characteristic (trait) that is attributable to two or more genes and their interaction with the environment. Polygenic traits do not follow patterns of Mendelian inheritance (qualitative traits). Instead, their phenotypes typically vary along a continuous gradient depicted by a bell curve. Eye color and skin color are both polygenetic traits. 2. Monogenic inheritance is controlled by a single gene, as opposed to multigenic.
Barbara mcclintock is famous for being the first person to study peculiar inheritance patterns found in the colors of Indian corn, jumping DNA refers to the idea that some stretches DNA are unstable and "transportable" i.e they can move around on and between chromosomes.

patterns of familial inheritance. patterns of sex-linked inheritance.
There are lots of ways. A simple way is to do a Punnett Square. It's useful in studying independent inheritance patterns (multiple traits that are not on the same chromosome).
The three most common and important patterns of inheritance in humans are; autosomal recessive, autosomal dominate, and x-linked recessive. There are, of course, other patterns but these are the best place to start since autosomal can be in either sex and x-linked are from the X-chromosome.
A pedigree chart is used to study human patterns of inheritance.
Inheritance patterns are the predictable patterns seen in the transmission of genes from one generation to the next.
