Question

Imagine that eye color in cats is controlled by a single gene and that there are two alleles: black eyes and orange eyes. All the offspring of a cross between a black-eyed cat and an orange-eyed cat have black eyes. This means that the allele for black eyes is __________ the allele for orange eyes

Answer 1

dominant to

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is "dominant to".

When two things are combine or put into reaction and the result of the combinations shows mainly the constituents of one thing only surpassing the other thing, then that things which excels or is in greater proportion is said to be dominated.

Since the cross offspring of a black-eyed cat and an orange-eyed cat have black eyes, the allele for black eyes is said to be dominating the allele for orange eyes.
