Did the hospital make a mistake?
Yes, because the physical appearance of
the baby must have tall eyeballs.
No genotypes of the punnet square include a homo-zygous recessive trait.
Therefore the offspring must recieve a recessive allele from each parent to exhibit it so based on the data, it is impossible to have a baby with short eyes.
