Answer :

RhysH
It is C as to have freckles you have to have a dominant and recessive gene (can be worked out using a punnett square) as the child has 50% of not having freckles like his dad or 50% having freckles like his mom. 
                     male genes(homozygous recessive)
                     f            f

female    F    Ff           Ff
genes
              f     ff             ff

so ff is not having freckles and being homozygous recessive, or Ff having freckles and being heterozygous.

So the child is heterozygous  so C

A child with no freckles has a mother who has freckles and is impurebred and a father who has no freckles and is purebred recessive is B.recessive.

What is purebred recessive?

The purebred recessive means a traits that has the characters as the same characters and is defined as the traits that are similar.

  1. Let F constitute freckles and f represents no freckles
  2. Mother is , that is, Ff
  3. And her phenotype is freckled
  4. This tells us that F is dominant allele
  5. Therefore is recessive
  6. Father does not have freckles, his chromosomes.
  7. Possible progenies Ff, ff, ff, Ff
  8. Since the kid does not have freckles, he has the recessive alleles
