Question

Considering what you know about dominant and recessive genes, what are the possible genotypes for brown eyed babies? What are the possible genotypes for blue eyed babies? Explain how you came to this response making sure to discuss dominant and recessive genes.

Answer 1

B = Brown, b = blue

BB & BB = 100% Brown, 0% Blue

BB & Bb = 100% Brown, 0% Blue

Bb & Bb = 75% Brown, 25% Blue

Bb & bb = 50% Brown, 50% Blue

bb & bb = 0% Brown, 100% Blue

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference the Punnett square. The brown gene when mixed with a blue gene in one of the four squares is always dominant.
