Question: The Cleaver family awaited the birth of Claudette's puppies with great anticipation. But shortly after the standard poodle gave birth to six pups, two of them, a male and a female, developed seizures and died. One of the surviving pups, Sylvester, was bred when he was a year old to Minuette, who was an offspring of Sylvester's father, Otis. Alas, One of Minuette's four Pups also died of the canine seizure disorder.
a- Draw a pedigree for the poodle family.
b- What is the mode of inheritance of the disorder?
c- What advice would you give to the Cleavers about successfully breeding their poodles in the future?
