Expert Solution
Step 1
Only the Dominant Allele (F) is expressed in a heterozygous genotype.
Given:
Dominant (F)
Recessive(f)
Jake and his mother both have freckles, hence their genotypes are FF or Ff, and they both have freckles.
Sister and father are freckle-free ----> the genotype would be perfect if only ff were freckle-free.
