the website above can help you with this task.
You must explain what hemophilia is and how does the pedigree help you figure out the way in which it
was passed on from generation to generation. Furthermore, you must explain how this example was
used to solve a world problem related to genetics.
You must also find pictures of each of the people mentioned in the pedigree and state whether or not
they had the disease if you want to mention where they were from you can.
It will be graded using the following IB criterion:
