参考答案: C
本题详细解析:
Choice C is correct because it is an autosomal recessive trait. We know it is a recessive trait (Statement III) because the unaffected biological parents (individuals 5 and 6) have affected offspring (individual 8). That means both biological parents are carriers of the recessive allele. It is not caused by a dominant allele (statement II) because an affected child (individual 8) has unaffected biological parents. It is not a sex-linked trait (statement III) because an unaffected biological mother (individual 6) and unaffected biological father (individual 5) have an affected daughter (individual 8). If this was a sex-linked condition, in order for her to be affected, she would have received the trait on both copies of the X chromosomes she inherited from her biological parents (if recessive sex-linked) or at least from one biological parent (if dominant sex-linked, but then at least one of the biological parents should have had the condition).
