Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Both a man and a woman are heterozygous for freckles. Freckles (F) are dominant over no freckles (f). Analyze the chance that their child will have freckles.

Introduction:

Expression of all the traits depends on alleles responsible for that trait. One allele comes from the mother and another from the father. The individuals can be homozygous or heterozygous. In case of homozygous the individuals carry two copies of same alleles for a gene but in case of heterozygous, the individuals carry two copies different alleles for a gene.
