fathers genes
mothers genes

true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Determine Parental Alleles

Both parents are Hh, so each can pass H or h.

Step2: Set Up Punnett Square

	H	h
h	Hh	hh

Step3: Analyze Phenotypes

HH, Hh, Hh show dominant trait (3/4), hh shows recessive (1/4). The statement says 2/4, which is incorrect.

Answer:
