D. The man's traits (ff) would be recessive and with one of the girls (FF), all their offspring would have the genotype Ff, meaning all the offspring have freckles.

Sharon Delgado · Answer 2

It depends on this the situation. If the other marriage if just ff and the one person is FF. The percentage will come out as 100%. The child will have freckles. Because the dominant trait always wins.
