Scenario and reference pages

See the inheritance pattern, then make your own

Every teaching page begins with a rendered, hand-checked example and the rule it demonstrates.

Pedigree chart

pedigree chart

A pedigree chart uses standardized shapes, fills, and descent lines to show a trait across generations.

Pedigree chart

autosomal dominant pedigree

See the vertical pattern expected when one altered autosomal allele is sufficient to express a trait.

Pedigree chart

autosomal recessive pedigree

See how unaffected carrier parents can have an affected child when two altered autosomal alleles are required.

Pedigree chart

X-linked recessive pedigree

See the characteristic pattern of affected males, carrier females, and no father-to-son transmission.

Pedigree chart

how to read a pedigree chart

Read sex, affected status, partners, children, generations, and the proband in the standard order.

Pedigree chart

pedigree practice problems

Practice identifying inheritance patterns from a rendered family rather than an abstract text-only question.

Pedigree chart

genetic pedigree chart

Map a genetic trait through partners, sibling groups, carriers, affected relatives, and an identified proband.

Pedigree chart

horse pedigree chart

Lay out a horse’s sire and dam lines across multiple generations in a clean lineage chart.

Pedigree chart

dog pedigree generator

Create a readable dog lineage chart from the animal, sire, dam, grandparents, and kennel names you provide.

Phylogenetic tree

phylogenetic tree maker

Turn taxa, sister groups, clades, branch lengths, and support values into a rooted phylogenetic tree.

Phylogenetic tree

cladogram maker

Build a branching cladogram that emphasizes shared ancestry and nested groups without implying a linear ladder.

Process

From family facts to standard pedigree notation

01

Choose the question

Open a genetics, animal pedigree, cladogram, or phylogenetic-tree page.

02

Describe each person

State sex, affected status, carrier status, partners, children, generations, and the proband.

03

Render the pattern

The locked Schematex engine draws standard squares, circles, fills, carrier marks, and descent lines.

04

Check and export

Confirm the inheritance rule, then download SVG or PNG or refine it in ChatDiagram.

Details

Questions, answered plainly

Are the inheritance examples checked?

The launch examples for autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked recessive inheritance are hand-authored and tested against the stated rule.

What is the difference between a pedigree and a genogram?

A pedigree tracks inheritance using genetics conventions. A genogram records broader family and emotional relationships; those tools live on GenogramMaker.ai.

Can it make animal pedigrees?

Yes. The pedigree engine works for horse and dog lineage charts as well as human genetics, while the phylo engine handles species-level trees.

Is it free for classroom use?

Yes. There is no signup, payment, or watermark. Hourly fair-use limits apply to generation requests.
