Question

In a pedigree chart, how are children typically ordered relative to their parents?

Options

• At the same level as parents, separated by generation lines

• Beside parents in random order

• Above parents in order of birth from right to left

• Below parents in order of birth from left to right

Answer 1

Children are shown below their parents in order of birth from left to right in a pedigree chart. This standardized arrangement makes it easy to track sibships, identify birth order, and visualize how traits are transmitted from one generation to the next.
