The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term used to describe the analysis of traits across several generations of a family. 2. **Reviewing the Options**: The options provided are: - A. Mendelian Disorder - B. Chromosomal Disorder - C. Pedigree - D. Aneuploidy 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Mendelian Disorder**: This refers to genetic disorders that follow Mendel's laws of inheritance, but it does not specifically relate to the analysis of traits across generations. - **Chromosomal Disorder**: This pertains to abnormalities in chromosome number or structure, which is not focused on trait analysis over generations. - **Pedigree**: This is a diagrammatic representation that shows the inheritance of traits and diseases through generations in a family. It is specifically used to analyze traits across multiple generations. - **Aneuploidy**: This refers to an abnormal number of chromosomes and is not related to the analysis of traits in a family. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: The correct answer is **C. Pedigree**, as it specifically refers to the analysis of traits across several generations of a family. 5. **Conclusion**: The analysis of traits in several generations of a family is called **pedigree analysis**.
