Question

carla receives an allele for blue eyes from her mother, and an allele for brown eyes from her father.
if brown eye color is a dominant trait and blue eye color is a recessive trait, what can be determined about the color of carlas eyes? (1 point)
○ carla has brown eyes.
○ carla has blue eyes.
○ carlas eye color can not be determined.
○ carla has green eyes.

Explanation:

According to Mendelian genetics, when an individual has one dominant allele (for brown eyes) and one recessive allele (for blue eyes), the dominant allele determines the trait. Since brown eye color is dominant, it will mask the expression of the recessive blue - eye allele.

Answer:

Carla has brown eyes.
