Family pedigrees are based on scientific evidence that is described by

Answer
A
the Hippocratic oath.
B
Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
C
the Human Genome Project.
D
Huntington’s theory of disease.

Explanation

Family pedigrees trace how traits are passed from parents to offspring across generations. Their analysis relies on Mendel’s laws of inheritance, which describe patterns such as dominant and recessive traits. The Hippocratic oath is an ethical pledge for physicians, and the Human Genome Project mapped human DNA rather than establishing inheritance patterns.
