Is this question correct please?

In humans brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. What type of offspring would you expect if you crossed a heterozygous brown eyed person to a heterozygous blue eyed person?

I understand the Bb of the brown eyes but not the alleles for this blue eyed person?

I understood brown to be dominant, so how can you have a heterozygous blue eyed person? Are they not homozygous blue eyed recessive?

If the person is heterozygous, the alleles of the blue eyed person would also be Bb. The chance of brown eyed offspring is 3/4 and the chance of blue eyed offspring is 1/4. There can't actually be a heterozygous recessive allele. This is because for the recessive trait to come through there would need to be two alleles. It would be a homozygous blue eyed recessive trait.

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^

What is meant by heterozygous?

  • The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus.
  • A heterozygous genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote).
  • If the two versions are different, you have a heterozygous genotype for that gene.
