On a separate sheet of paper• Draw a pedigree that represents Julie

married to Jeff, with one daughter, Josephine. Josephine married Joseph and had Jason and Joe. Joe married Julia and had Shannon and fraternal twin boys, Mark and Alex. Mark married Alison and had Ray and Scarlet. Please label the pedigree with the names of the people.

• The individuals in red are affected with an autosomal recessive disorder. Please indicate the genotypes of each person in this pedigree
