Question

Part II: For each of the genotypes below, determine what phenotypes would

be possible
Brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes
4. BB
5. Bb
6. bb
Short tails in cats are recessive to long tails.
7. TT
8. Tt
9. It

Answer 1

4. Brown

5. Brown

6. Blue

7. Long

8. Long

9. Short

Step-by-step explanation:

Dominant alleles are always expressed when they are present. Recessive alleles are masked by dominant alleles.

Therefore, two copies of a recessive allele are required to show the recessive trait. Either one or two copies of a dominant allele produces the dominant trait.

Therefore, for dominant brown eyes, BB or Bb gives brown eyes, bb gives blue eyes.

For recessive long tails, tt gives short tails, TT and Tt gibe long tails
