Question

current attempt in progress
your dad has brown eyes, but your mom has green eyes. it turns out that you have brown eyes like your dad. this would assume that if you had both brown - and green - eyed genes from your mom and dad, that the brown - eyed gene was
o dominant.
o recessive.
o contingent.
o inhibited.

Explanation:

In genetics, a dominant gene is one that will show its trait even if only one copy is present. Since the person has brown eyes (like the dad) when having both brown - eyed (from dad) and green - eyed (from mom) genes, the brown - eyed gene must be dominant. A recessive gene would only show its trait if two copies are present. Contingent and inhibited are not standard terms in this genetic context.

Answer:

dominant.
