Inherited trait
Face Freckles
Freckles are a single on-or-off trait. Having freckles is dominant - one parent passing them on is enough - so freckle-free children need both parents to lack them.
Dominant to recessive

Both parents must pass it on for a child to show it.
What will my child inherit?

- ●No freckles is recessive: a child only shows it when both parents pass it on.
- ●Two Freckles parents can still have a No freckles child - if both quietly carry the No freckles gene, it can surface.
