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

each of the 46 original chromosomes splits into two daughter chromosomes, so there are two sets of 46 daughter chromosomes that end up in each cell. human cells have 46 chromosomes. each chromosome consists of a pair of identical chromatids attached together by a structure called a centromere.
