Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
For adopted members of the family, use brackets as the appropriate standardized pedigree symbol (e.g., brackets).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A consanguineous family is related by descent from a common ancestry and is defined as a union between two individuals who are related as second cousins or closer (Hamamy 2012). Consanguinity, if present in the family history, is portrayed using two horizontal lines to establish the relationship between the male and female partners.
