Part II: For each of the genotypes below, determine what phenotypes would be possible
Brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes
4. BB
5. Bb
6. bb
Short tails in cats are recessive to long tails.
7. TT
8. Tt
9. It

4. Brown

5. Brown

6. Blue

7. Long

8. Long

9. Short

Explanation:

Dominant alleles are always expressed when they are present. Recessive alleles are masked by dominant alleles.

Therefore, two copies of a recessive allele are required to show the recessive trait. Either one or two copies of a dominant allele produces the dominant trait.

Therefore, for dominant brown eyes, BB or Bb gives brown eyes, bb gives blue eyes.

For recessive long tails, tt gives short tails, TT and Tt gibe long tails

explanation:

the sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including dna and rna. this backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
