| Abstract: | This paper reports on a study of undergraduate genetics students' conceptual and procedural knowledge and how that knowledge
influences students' success in pedigree problem solving. Findings indicate that many students lack the knowledge needed to
test hypotheses relating to X-linked modes of inheritance using either patterns of inheritance or genotypes. Case study data
illustrate how these knowledge deficiencies acted as an impediment to correct and conclusive solutions of pedigree problems.
