Title: What can we conclude about a boy with two alleles for brown eyes? Post by: ppcehbrown on Aug 2, 2016 What can we conclude about a boy with two alleles for brown eyes?
a) he is homozygous for eye colour b) he is referred to as 'atypical' c) he has eye colour as a co-dominant trait d) he has blue eyes Title: Re: What can we conclude about a boy with two alleles for brown eyes? Post by: Ely on Feb 12, 2017 A) He is homozygous for eye color
He has two alleles for brown eyes, having a pair of either dominant or recessive alleles is homozygous Title: Re: What can we conclude about a boy with two alleles for brown eyes? Post by: ChaosLy on Feb 13, 2017 A.
So, he has two of the same alleles. Homo means same, so therefore he is homozygous. If he had brown eyes, but had a brown allele and a blue allele he would have been heterozygous. Hetero meaning different. |
