We can't answer this question without seeing the pedigree.

However, you can probably tell if the trait is dominant or recessive.
Recessive if someone in the pedigree has the trait, but their parents do not. Also recessive if someone in the pedigree is a carrier, indicated by a dot in the circle or square or by shading just half of the circle or square.
