Answer:
Pedigrees can be described as diagrams which illustrate the patterns of inheritance in generations.
Explanation:
A sex-linked pedigree shows the transfer of sex-linked traits among generations whereas an autosomal pedigree shows the transfer of all traits other than the sex-linked traits.
Generally, the pattern of inheritance of sex-linked traits are very different from the autosomal pattern of inheritance. The sex-linked traits happen to occur more in males than in females because males have an X and a Y chromosome, so even a single allele would cause the appearance of a trait in them. Females are usually carriers.
