mother is of normal height. Both his parents have Type O blood but nobody from both sides of his family has or had freckles.

a. Write the COMPLETE genotypes of the man and the woman. Clearly indicate which genotype belongs to whom.

b. Based on their genotypes, what is the probability that they will have:


b.1 a child with Achondroplasia? 
b.2 a child of normal height? 
b.3 a child with type AB blood? 
b.4 a daughter with round eyes, freckles, and medium sized nose? 
b.5 a son with almond eyes, no freckles, and small nose?
b.6 a daughter with same genotype as the woman?
