Question

Which term describes the example below?A child with no freckles has a mother who has freckles and is heterozygous and a father who has no freckles and is homozygous recessive.

A.homozygous dominant
B.homozygous recessive
C.heterozygous
D.Female
E.male

Answer 1

1) Since freckles is the dominant phenotype, this means that Olivia must have the recessive phenotype, which is only given by the genotype ff. FF and Ff would both give freckles because, again, freckles is dominant. So any genotype with F_ would give freckles.
2)Same answer as #1.
3) Since they only have f alleles to pass on, both the dad and the mom will pass on one f each to 100% of their children. So all will have genotype ff and no freckles.

Answer 2

B. homozygous recessive
Explication
If the mother is heterozygous and with freckles, the father homozygous and without freckles, and considering that the child does not have freckles, soon realized that the freckles are a feature dominant (SS or Ss), as the child does not have freckles,this is also recessive. Hope this helps
