In humans, five fingers (f) is the recessive trait; six fingers (F) is the dominant trait. Both parents are heterozygous. What are the phenotypes of the father and the mother? What are the genotypes of each parent? What is the probability of them having six- fingered children? Five- fingered children? Follow the steps given in the introduction and show your work below.
