What is the genotype of parent 1?

What is the genotype of parent 2?

What is the probability that the offspring of parent 1 and parent 2 has the recessive alleles be expressed in their phenotype? __% (use numbers only)

Answer 1

Answer: Genotype of parent 1: Aa

Genotype of parent 2: aa

Probability: 50%

Explanation: The Punnet square is shown in the problem to help you :) Also, these answers are correct because I got these all right on my science quiz just recently!

Answer 2

denoting No freckles: N Freckles: f,

parent 1 genotype: Nf

parent 2 genotype: ff

after using punnet Square the four random combinations are:

Nf, Nf, ff, ff

50% probability that offspring will have freckles
