The type of inheritance pattern displayed by the disease according to the illustration would be pleiotropy.

In the real sense, pleiotropy is an inheritance phenomenon in which a single gene conditions the expression of unrelated traits. In other words, a gene is responsible for different unrelated physical traits.

  • codominance refers to an equal contribution of 2 alleles to the physical expression of a trait
  • incomplete dominance refers to two alleles producing an intermediate trait
  • polygenic trait refers to when multiple genes condition a single trait.
