Abstract

A single pedigree style, the arrow or network method, is presented that is generally superior to, or as useful as, the other commonly used methods in teaching genetics. It is adaptable to all uses of pedigrees and necessary in some. Clarity of inbred relationships, generation overlap, and lack of the need for right angle turns are the major advantages.
