Answer;

both dominant and a mutation

Explanation;

  • Pedigree charts shows inheritance of a certain trait over generations. A pedigree can therefore track an inherited trait through several generation.
  • A dominant trait is an inherited trait that appears in an offspring if it is obtained from a parent through a dominant allele. Such a trait is seen when heterozygous genotype is present. If a trait is dominant, then its appearance on a pedigree chart will be such that it appears in every single generation.
  • Mutation refers to sudden spontaneous changes that occurs randomly in the genome of an organism. Mutations may also be observed in a pedigree chart.
