Each form of a gene is called an allele. Two kinds of alleles for human blood include A and O. The allele for type A blood is dominant to the type O allele. The allele for type O blood is recessive. Which of the following explanations best describes which blood type a person will have if he inherits one allele for type A from his mother and one allele for type O from his father?

The answer would be c, white eyes are homozygous recessive. in the early 1900s, morgan conducted several experiments with vinegar  flies (drosophila). one  sample revealed an anomaly: a  white-eyed, single male fly. he attempted to breed this fly with the typical red-eyed females. the offspring were all red-eyed. using flies from this new generation (brother-sister pairs)  produced some red-eyed and a few white-eyed flies. the white-eyed were all male. in later experiments, he was able to produce white-eyed females. this proved that white eyes are not lethal to either sex (ruling out a and b). since the percentage of white eyes to red eyes is so low, white eyes are not a dominant trait. it would be a recessive trait.
