a long neck, and the dad is
homozygous for a short neck.
Use “L” and “l” to represent
the alleles.

F = No freckles
f = freckles
A: Since both parents have no freckles,
there are only 2 possible combinations: FF or
Ff. Both parents have to be heterozygous
(Ff) in order to have a child that has shows
the recessive trait of freckles.
