Ok, ive ready in my bio book and heard it from my teacher
Freckles are a dominant trait
non-freckles are recessive trait
so therefore taking into account that dominant traits show and recessive are hidden unless there arent any dominant traits, i can assume the following:
FF and Ff Will have freckles
ff will not have freckles
well, im trying to make a pedigree chart based on real people with/without freckles but just cant simply get it right unless Ff=no freckles
grandma has freckles so she must be either FF or Ff
grandpa has no freckles so he must be ff according to the no freckles recessiveness
their daughter of the above people has no freckles, making me conclude that grandma is Ff, and the daughter marries a man without freckles therefore :
daughter and his husband both ff
but! 2 of their children have freckles!! meaning they must have a dominant F
my question is this: where did that F came from if parents both ff?
my only explanation: Ff=no freck
