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?

Best answer

In this study, a light-coloured eye is a dominant trait because children born from parents having light-coloured eyes also had light-coloured eyes.
