Final answer:

Based on the information given, it is not possible to determine the exact type of inheritance pattern represented by the pedigree without further context or the actual pedigree itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given, it is not possible to determine the exact type of inheritance pattern represented by the pedigree without further context or the actual pedigree itself. The question mentions complete penetrance, which means that if an individual has the gene, they will show the associated trait. However, without specific information about the pedigree, it is not possible to determine whether the inheritance is autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked. In addition, the information provided in the references is not directly related to the pedigree mentioned. To accurately determine the inheritance pattern, it would be necessary to analyze the specific traits and patterns of inheritance within the pedigree.
