Question

A study found that children with light-coloured eyes are likely to have parents
with light-coloured eyes. On this basis, can we say anything about whether the
light eye colour trait is dominant or recessive? Why or why not?​

Answer 1

We may say that the eye color is a recessive trait.

Explanation:

• Eye color is a polygenic trait and is affected by multiple genes.
• The more the number of dominant genes, the darker the eye color is.
• If both of the parents have light-colored eyes, or have one, two or no dominant genes at all and cannot pass the dominant genes to their children.
• The eye color of the children may be light or even lighter than parents
