suppose you found a curl cat and wanted to start your own population. how would you determine whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive?
Dark hair (black or brown) are considered to be dominant genetic traits over lighter colors like blonde and red. This is a very simplified perspective of the genetics of hair color. Hair color is coded by multiple genes, so this is slightly more complex in reality.
An allele can effect the phenotype of an organism by its dominance or recessiveness. If two dominant alleles are crossed the offsprings will carry the dominant trait of the alleles. If a dominant allele is crossed with recessive allele the phenotype of the offsprings will be of that of the dominant allele. And if two recessive alleles are crossed the phenotype of their offsprings will carry the reccesive trait.
Homogeneous recessive is two like genes that express a recessive trait.
It may be that in the litter that one of the cats came from the mother or father was a white cat ( that would be a recessive gene) and it reoccured in this generation. Just because it's a recessive gene doesn't mean it can't come back.

The LaPerm cats have a dominant gene that make them have curly hair.

The dominant trait of taillessness is called the Manx taillessness gene.

A+ It is probably homozygous for the recessive allele.
No, they don't.
it is probably homozygous for the recessive allele
rather TT Tt tt
Yes
your talking about cats because i think the dominant eye color in cats is green because most cats have green eyes so both parents can have a trait for green and blue eyes and hav green eyes
