1. 1/2
2. 1/2
3. 1/4
Explanation:
Let the allele for freckles be A or a while that of dimples be B or b.
A person without freckles but heterozygous for dimples = aaBb
A person who has freckles (whose mother has no freckles) but no dimples = Aabb
aaBb x Aabb
Offspring
4 AaBb - freckled and dimpled
4 Aabb - freckled and non dimpled
4 aaBb - non freckled and dimpled
4 aabb - non freckled and non dimpled
1. <em>Probability that the parents will have a dimpled child</em> = 8/16 or 1/2
2. <em>Probability that they will have a child with freckles</em> = 8/16 or 1/2
3. <em>Probability that they will have a child with freckles and dimples</em> = 4/16 or 1/4
