Question

In humans, the presence of black eye pigment suppresses the presence of brown eye pigment. What can you conclude from this statement?

A: The allele for black eye pigment is dominant to the allele for brown eye pigment, and both alleles are variations of the same gene.
B: The allele for brown eye pigment is dominant to the allele for black eye pigment, and both alleles are variations of the same gene.
C: The allele for brown eye pigment is dominant to the allele for black eye pigment, and the alleles are variations of two different genes.

Answer 1
