Chapter 23, Problem 8AGP

Summary Introduction

To analyze:

A child who does not have dimples or freckles is born to a man who has dominant alleles for both dimples and freckles and a woman who does not. Analyze the genotypes of all the people involved.

Introduction:

Genotype is the genetic constituents of an individual responsible for the phenotype. If the children express the traits visibly then it means the gene from the parents is expressed by dominant alleles and if the trait is not found in the children then the gene from parents is expressed by the recessive alleles.
