The human traits for red hair and freckles are closely linked on chromosome 16. Red hair is a recessive trait while having freckles is a dominant trait. If a brown haired, freckled man (whose mother had red hair and no freckles and father had brown hair and freckles) marries a red headed, no freckled woman, what is the probability they will have red headed, freckled, children?

Answer is "50 percent"

Explanation:

Parents can likewise be transporters for passive qualities. While they may show the prevailing qualities, they despite everything and can go to their children the latent qualities. For instance, two dark-colored haired, darker peered toward parents can have a kid with light hair and blue eyes. The two parents can show latent quality attributes, and they can pass those to their kids, as well. For instance, if the two parents have red hair, a youngster gets, for the most part, the hereditary data for red hair, so the odds they will have red hair is very nearly 100 percent. On the other hand that one parent is redheaded and the other isn't, the odds their kid will have red hair is around 50 percent, however, the shade of red may vary significantly. Hence, the eight answer is "50 percent"
