Question 2

A study found that children with light-coloured eyes are likely to have parents with light-coloured eyes. On this basis, can we say anything about whether the light eye colour trait is dominant or recessive? Why or why not?

Answer

No, we cannot say anything about whether the light eye colour trait is dominant or recessive based on above given fact because:

  1. It is not clear whether parents are heterozygous or homozygous.
  2. It requires to study inheritance pattern upto three or more generations.
