Solution

The probability that they have a child with no freckles is 25%. This is because both parents must be heterozygous for the trait (Ff), where F represents the dominant allele (freckles) and f represents the recessive allele (no freckles). The possible combinations for their children are FF, Ff, fF, and ff. Only the ff combination would result in a child with no freckles, so the probability is 1 out of 4, or 25%.
