The allele for freckles is (f). Suppose two non- freckled parents have 4 non-freckled children and 1 freckled child. What are the genotypes of the parents? 24

A: Since both parents have no freckles, there are only 2 possible combinations: FF or Ff. Both parents have to be heterozygous (Ff) in order to have a child that has shows the recessive trait of freckles. Male Female F = No freckles f = freckles F f F fff Ff 24 - Answer Ff FF

A: If either parent is homozygous dominant (FF), all children would show the dominant trait of no freckles. Male Female F = No freckles f = freckles F F F fFf FF 24 – Answer, cont. Ff FF
