The allele for freckles is (f). Suppose two non-freckled parents have 4 non-freckled children and 1 freckled child. What are the genotypes of the parents?

24

A: Since both parents have no freckles, there are only 2 possible combinations: FF or Ff. Both parents have to be heterozygous (Ff) in order to have a child that has shows the recessive trait of freckles.

A plant is able to self-pollinate. Does this mean it is a true-breeding plant?

25

A: No. Self pollination allowed Mendel to create true-breeding plants, but in his second experiments, he allowed the heterozygous plants to self-pollinate, and purple plants produced both purple and white offspring.
