A newborn child was brought to the hospital nursery before he was marked with his parents' names. The hospital workers must use what they know
about genetic outcomes to determine whom the child belongs to. They use his traits to help them. The baby has freckles (F dominant), and attached
earlobes (I recessive). They believe that the baby most likely belongs to a couple in which the man has attached earlobes but no freckles. It is known that
the woman is heterozygous for freckles and earlobe type.
Complete the Punnett square below to determine the probability that the child belongs to this couple. List the possible combinations of the father's
alleles across the top and the possible combinations of the mother's alleles down the left side. Then write your answer in the space below. Include a
brief statement explaining how you reached your answer.
