Question

brown eyes are dominant to green eyes. short eyelashes are dominant to long eyelashes. what is the genotype for an individual who has green eyes and long eyelashes?
options:
ggee
ggee
dgee
ggee

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze eye color genetics

Brown eyes (G) are dominant over green eyes (g), so green eyes require the recessive genotype \( gg \).

Step2: Analyze eyelash length genetics

Short eyelashes (E) are dominant over long eyelashes (e), so long eyelashes require the recessive genotype \( ee \).

Step3: Combine genotypes

For green eyes and long eyelashes, the genotype must be \( gg \) (for green eyes) and \( ee \) (for long eyelashes), so the combined genotype is \( ggee \).

Answer:

ggee (corresponding to the option with "ggee" among the choices, likely the third option in the vertical list shown)
