Genotype of of the father having clear facial skin is Rr, showing that it is a dominant trait. There can be two genotypes for this trait that is Rr and RR.

When these parents are crossed, they produce 50% offsprings with the freckles trait (rr) and 50% with clear facial skin ( Rr).

Therefore, the likelihood of the first child with freckles is A
