Question:
A study found that children with light-coloured eyes are likely to have parents with light-coloured eyes. On this basis, can we say anything about whether the light eye colour trait is dominant or recessive? Why or why not?
Answer:
From the given details it is difficult to say if light color of eye is a dominant or recessive trait. However if the eye colors of both the parents were known along with the knowledge of whether the genes contributing for it are dominant or recessive types, then the nature of the trait can be predicted.
