Almond-shaped (E) eyes is dominant over round eyes. Presence of freckles (F) is also a dominant trait. Medium-sized nose, however, may be inherited if one parent has a large (L) nose and the other has a small (S) nose.

She is engaged to a man with achondroplasia, round eyes and medium sized nose. Unlike his father, hismother is of normal height. Both his parents have Type O blood but nobody from both sides of his family has or had freckles. 1.What is the complete genotypes of the man and the woman.
