Answer:

A pedigree chart is used to track inherited traits through generations (option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

A pedigree chart is a graphical representation, similar to a family tree, showing specific traits present in parents, children and relatives. It is a diagram commonly used in genetics.

A certain phenotype, product of genetic traits, is represented in a pedigree chart by pre-established symbols, which is useful for tracking inherited traits through generations.

  • The other options, predict percentage of offspring with a trait , predict genotypic probabilities or identify the genotype of parents require a Punnett square to be identified.
