Summary Introduction

To explain: The Punnett square of a cross between Tim and Jan both of whom have freckles, but their first child Michael does not have freckles (dominant trait) and the probability of the occurrence of two more children will freckles from both of them.

Introduction: The cross of Tim and Jan was analyzed to study the transfer of the genetic trait freckles in children, which is a dominant trait in the F1 generation. The heterozygous state of the parents with freckles will be Ff. The cross will take place between Ff x Ff to give rise to the progeny.
