No. You cannot prove/disprove homozygosity. You can prove heterozygosity if there was a blue-eyed child, but as long as the couple keeps having brown-eyed children, it cannot be shown whether the man is homozygous.

What is a sentence with homozygous?

The pair of alleles were homologous because they were the same.


What is homozygous dom?

Say "B" indicates the gene for brown eyes, and "b" the gene for blue eyes."BB" - Homozygous ( the person has brown eyes)"Bb" - Hetrozygous ( the person has brown eyes)"bb" - Homozygous ( the person has blue eyes)Dominant refers to the dominant gene, i.e. the one that decides the appearance of the person (The gene represented by a capital letter).Recessive refers to the recessive gene, i.e. the other gene which does not have any effect on the appearance of the person, but may have an effect on the appearance of their future children (The gene represented by a lower case letter).


Is eye color a homozygous recessive genetic disorder?

Eye color is not considered a genetic disorder; it is a polygenic trait influenced by multiple genes. The genetics of eye color are complex and involve a combination of dominant and recessive alleles from different genes. It is not classified as a disorder as it does not cause harm or impairment to an individual's health or functioning.


How does heterozygous and homozygous differ?

Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene, either dominant or recessive, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a particular gene. For example, in a homozygous dominant individual, both alleles for a gene are dominant, whereas in a heterozygous individual, one allele is dominant and the other is recessive.

If your mother had brown eyes and her father had blue eyes what would the baby have?

Brown color of eye is dominant over blue color. If the mother is homozygous for brown color of eye, than the all the children will have brown color eyes. If mother is heterozygous for brown eyes, than 50% of children will have brown eyes and 50% will have blue eyes.


If you crossed a homozygous dominant man with brown eyes with a homozygous recessive woman with blue eyes what color or colors would their children have?

I don't know what your scientific terms mean, but I can tell you that I am a blue eyed female (my father was brown eyed/my mother had hazel eyes). The father of my two children is brown eyed. Both of my children have blue eyes.

Why do children have characteristics of both their mother and father?

Children have similar characteristic's to their parents because when they are conceived, both of the parents genes unify to create a new set of characteristic'd depending on dominant and recessive traits. For example, Jane and Henry find out they are having a baby. Jane has homozygous blue eyes whilst Henry has heterozygous brown eyes. The chances are that their baby will either have 50% homozygous blue eyes or 50% heterozygous brown eyes.

A brown mouse is repeatedly mated with a white mouse all the offspring are brown if two of the offspring are mated what fraction of the F2 mice will be brown?

75% or 3/4. The two F1 (offspring) mice have a genotype Bb, and express the dominant (brown) trait. When they mate, 1/4 will be BB (homozygous dominant - brown), 2/4 will be Bb (heterozygous - brown), and 1/4 will be bb (homozygous recessive - white).


How can you use dominant trait in a sentence?

The dominant trait for eye color in humans is brown, which means that if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes, the child is more likely to inherit brown eyes due to the dominant trait.
