The allele for brown eyes is dominant and represented by the letter E. 1. How would the recessive allele be represented? 2. Please look at the image provided of the mother and father then look at the image of their child. Is this outcome possible? If so, can you explain how it could occur? In two to five sentences use lesson vocabulary and content to explain your answer. 3. Make sure you include the parent's and child's genotypes in your answer.
You may use the following word bank: parent, offspring, allele, genotype, recessive, dominant, heterozygous, homozygous, and phenotype.
(Disclaimer: use 10 year old words & make sure to make it ONE sentence)
1. The recessive allele would be represented by the letter e.
2. Yes, this outcome is possible because both the mother and the father must be heterozygous (Ee) for eye color, carrying one dominant allele for brown eyes and one recessive allele for non-brown eyes, and there is a 25% chance that their child inherits two recessive alleles (ee) resulting in the expression of the recessive phenotype, which would be non-brown eyes.
3. The mother and father have the genotype Ee, and the child has the genotype ee.
