Chromosome #21 contains a gene, "$" which causes uneven pigment to form in the cheek region. If "$" is present then your child will have cheek freckles.

Place your baby's genotype for freckles in the data table.

Finally on chromosome #9 there is data in the form of a gene "@". If your baby has "@" there will be freckles on the forehead! ("@@" underlined, represent the recessive genes)

Place your baby's genotype for freckles in the data table.
