What are the patterns in the way that traits are inherited

The correct answer is - There are five basic modes of inheritance for single-gene diseases: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X-linked recessive, and mitochondrial.

Explanation:

The phenotype or external trait of an individual is determined by his or her genotype which is a combination of alleles received from the individual's parents. These alleles control if a trait is “dominant” or “recessive”.

These alleles can be autosomal, for traits related to somatic cells or X-linked, traits related to sex cells of an individual. Other than this there is a mitochondrial inheritance which comes from always from the mother's cytoplasm.
