If one parent has genotype aa bb cc dd and the other AA BB CC DD, we only have one possibility for the genotype and phenotype of their ofFSPring. They must inherit recessive alleles from the first, and dominant alleles from the second parent, which would make them heterozygous for all of the four traits. Thus, the children won't resemble either one of their parents.
