Question

Which term describes this example? 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.female

b.heterozygous

c.homozygous recessive

d.homozygous dominant

e.male

Answer 1

D. Homozygous dominant because the dad has the dominant allele.

Answer 2

Hello there!

The answer is: Homozygous recessive.

The child is like the father and does not carry the "freckle gene" with him, so being alike, the father's gene is dominant compared to the mother's gene, therefor the child has the Homozygous recessive gene and not the heterozygous gene.

Hopes this helps you!
