Autosomal Recessive Traits
Autosomal recessive traits normally appear with equal frequency in both sexes.
The trait seems to skip generations.
When both parents are heterozygous, approximately one-fourth of the offspring are expected to express the trait.
Recessive traits appear more frequently among the offspring of consanguineous matings.
Example - Tay–Sachs disease, sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, PKU
