Example: If the dad has blue eyes and is dominant and the mom has brown which is recessive the child will most likely have blue eyes because it is the dominant trait

Example: the recessive trait is having attached earlobes and is only seen in someone with the genotype ee (homozygous recessive).

Example: Height, weight, and skin color

Example: wo organisms that have even the minutest difference in their genes are said to have different genotypes.

Example: has one copy of two different alleles, for example Aa, it is heterozygous

Example: (XX) for a dominant trait, and two lowercase letters (xx) for a recessive trait.

Example: is the gene for blossom color in many species of flower — a single gene controls the color of the petals, but there may be several different versions (or alleles) of the gene

Example:there are several different alleles for eye color genes, such as blue alleles (blue eyes) and brown alleles (brown eyes).
