Many people would argue that a true albino cannot have freckles because a freckle is defined as a clump of dark pigment in the skin. Albinism is defined as a living being having no pigment or capability of producing pigment, thus; albinos dont have freckles. But some albinos HAVE gotten freckles from sun exposure so I guess it is possible. Sorry for making the explanantion so long(:

Are freckles dominant recessive or dominant dominant?

Freckles are considered a dominant trait, as they are caused by a dominant allele. This means that individuals only need to inherit one copy of the allele from either parent in order to have freckles.


Are freckles a genetic trait?

Yes, freckles are a genetic trait. The presence of freckles is influenced by genetics, particularly genes associated with the production and distribution of melanin in the skin. However, other factors such as sun exposure can also play a role in the development of freckles.


If dad has freckles and is homozygous and mom has freckles and is heterozygous what phenotypes and genotypes can you expect their offspring?

Alright, I suppose I will do your homework for you.. Here is your punnet square: F F F FF FF f Ff ff Therefore, 3/4, or 75%, offspring will have the phenotype of having freckles, and 1/4, or 25% will have the phenotype of no freckles. And 2/4, or 50%, of the offspring will have the genotype for homozygous for freckles, 1/4, or 25%, of the offspring will carry a heterozygous trait for freckles, and 1/4, or 25%, of the offspring will have the phenotype for homozygous no freckles.


Are Freckles are a physical trait that is transmitted by a recessive gene?

Yes, freckles are a physical trait that can be determined by genetic factors. The development of freckles is influenced by a combination of genetic predisposition and exposure to sunlight, rather than being solely determined by a single recessive gene.


What country has the most freckles?

There is no specific country that is known to have the most freckles. Freckles are a result of genetic factors and sun exposure, so they can be found in people of various nationalities around the world.

A man and a woman are both heterozygous Freckles are dominant over no freckles What are the chances their children will have freckles?

There is a 75% chance that their children will have freckles and a 25% chance that their children will not have freckles. This is because both parents are carriers of the freckles allele and can pass it on to their offspring.
