Is green eye color a recessive trait?
Yes, green eye color is typically considered a rare trait that is usually inherited as a recessive genetic trait. Individuals with green eyes often have two copies of the recessive allele for eye color.
Characteristic that is inherited that can be either dominant or recessive?
Eye color is an example of a characteristic that can be inherited as either dominant or recessive. Factors such as skin tone, hair color, and height can also be inherited in a similar manner.
If brown eye color is a dominant trait Andy blue eye color is a recessive trait what can be determined about the color of Carla's eye?
If brown eye color is a dominant trait and blue eye color is recessive, then Carla's eye color can be either brown or blue. If she has at least one allele for brown eyes, she will have brown eyes. If she inherits two recessive alleles for blue eyes, then she will have blue eyes. Without additional information about her parents' genotypes, we cannot definitively determine Carla's eye color.
What is the difference between a homozygous trait and a heterozygous trait and can you please provide an example for each?
a homozygous trait is when an offspring has either both dominant genes or both recessive genes from its parents. a heterozygous trait is when an offspring has both dominant and recessive genes. for example: a long-tailed cat is dominant and a short-tailed cat is recessive. the long-tailed cat (homozygous dominant) had offsprings with the short-tailed cat (homozygous recessive). by doing the punnett square, 100% of their offspring will be heterozygous.
What is recessive traite?
relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, i.e., when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent.
What is the inheritance patteren for cat eye syndrome?
Autosomal Dominant
Do you get your eye color from your parent?
Yes you get your eye color from your parent. The parent that carries one dominant gene and one recessive gene for a specific eye color and the other parent carries two recessive genes for a different eye color, you will get the eye color of the parent who carries the dominant and recessive gene. In other words, the dominant gene trumps the recessive gene. In another scenario, if both parents carry two recessive genes for a specific eye color, then you will inherit the recessive gene of that color.
Where was cat eye syndrome discovered?
The abnormalities common to cat eye syndrome were first cataloged in 1898 in Germany.
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
Who discovered cat eye syndrome?
Cat eye syndrome was first described in 1969 by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, led by Dr. Alfred Knudson. They named the syndrome after the striking feature of vertical colobomas in the eyes that resemble a cat's eye.
Could cat eye syndrome be prevented?
no
Is cat eye syndrome common among certain races?
Black people get cat eye syndrome more easily than any other race

1. Shape of face (probably polygenic) Oval dominant, square recessive 2. Cleft in chin No cleft dominant, cleft recessive 3. Hair curl (probably polygenic) Assume incomplete dominance Curly: homozygous Wavy: heterozygous Straight: homozygous 4. Hairline Widow peak dominant, straight hairline recessive 5. Eyebrow size Broad dominant, slender recessive 6. Eyebrow shape Separated dominant, joined recessive 7. Eyelash length Long dominant, short recessive 8. Dimples Dimples dominant, no dimples recessive 9. Earlobes Free lobe dominant, attached recessive 10. Eye shape Almond dominant, round recessive 11. Freckles Freckles dominant, no freckles recessive 12. Tongue rolling Roller dominant, nonroller recessive 13. Tongue folding Inability dominant, ability recessive 14. Finger mid-digital hair Hair dominant, no hair recessive 15. Hitch-hiker's thumb Straight thumb dominant, hitch-hiker thumb recessive 16. Bent little finger Bent dominant, straight recessive 17. Interlaced fingers Left thumb over right dominant, right over left recessive 18. Hair on back of hand Hair dominant, no hair recessive 19. Tendons of Palmar Muscle Two tendons dominant, three tendons recessive
Is green eye color a recessive trait?
Yes, green eye color is typically considered a rare trait that is usually inherited as a recessive genetic trait. Individuals with green eyes often have two copies of the recessive allele for eye color.
Are there prenatal tests for cat eye syndrome?
yes
How are dominant and recessive different?
Two genes determine a trait, e.g. eye colour (i will use eye colour as my example).You get one gene from your mother, and one gene from your father. Different genes may be dominant or recessive. In eye colour, Blue is a recessive trait and brown ia a dominant trait.That means that in the case of receiving a blue gene from your mother, and brown gene from your father, you will have brown eyes as it is dominant, as you only require ONE gene to show that trait, (although you may have two). However, you have to have BOTH recessive genes to have the recessive trait, meaning you have to be heterogenous for the gene.Hope that helped :)
Suppose that the alleles for blue eyes in cats is recessive and your cat has blue eyes. what statement can you make about your cat's genotype for eye color?
A+ It is probably homozygous for the recessive allele.
