Part 1: Monohybrid Cross—Predicting Freckles in an F1 GenerationApply your understanding of how alleles assort and combine during reproduction to evaluate a scenario involving a monohybrid cross.The allele for having freckles (F) is dominant over the allele for not having freckles (f). Some characteristics in people are inherited as simple dominant and recessive traits. One example is freckles. Freckles is a dominant trait, and the lack of freckles is a recessive trait. In this example, a person with freckles is represented as either FF or Ff, and a person with no freckles is represented as ff.1. Imagine a mother and a father who both have freckles and are heterozygous for the trait, or Ff. They are the P generation, or parent generation. Create a Punnett square to show their offspring, the F1 generation.

The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
