    1. Cystic fibrosis is inherited as a recessive trait based on the pedigree showing affected individuals only in generations where both parents carried the recessive gene. Huntington's disease is inherited as a dominant trait as it is passed through generations even when only one parent has the gene. 2. Punnett squares would be used to show the genetic inheritance and determine probability of offspring inheriting cystic fibrosis or Huntington's disease from carrier parents. 3. Chromosomes play a key role in genetic inheritance as they carry the DNA where genes are located that determine traits. Genetic disorders are caused by mutations in genes on chromosomes inherited from parents.
