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.

If bobtails are recessive in cats, then the normal tail trait would be considered dominant. This means that a cat with at least one normal tail allele will display the normal tail phenotype, while only cats with two recessive bobtail alleles will exhibit the bobtail phenotype. In genetic terms, dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits when both are present.
The LaPerm cats have a dominant gene that make them have curly hair.

The dominant trait of taillessness is called the Manx taillessness gene.
If your cat has blue eyes and the allele for blue eyes is recessive, it means that your cat must have two copies of the blue eye allele. Consequently, your cat's genotype is homozygous recessive for the blue eye trait. This also indicates that the cat's parents must have carried at least one copy of the recessive allele, allowing the trait to be expressed in your cat.

A+ It is probably homozygous for the recessive allele.
No, they don't.
