A dog gave birth to four puppies. The father has brown eyes, and the mother has green eyes. Two puppies have brown eyes, one has green eyes, and one puppy has blue eyes.

What does this tell you about how cellular information for eye color is passed on? Please explain.

This means that the mothers green eyes are recessive alleles and the fathers brown eyes are dominant alleles. The blue eyed puppy is blue eyed because there must have been a gene in the mothers or fathers past generation.

A **puppy **with blue eye , resulted from the **brown **and **green **eyed **parents **because there are **two **different **genes **for eye color .
There are **two genes **that are responsible for the **eye color **of the child . One is Green and another is Brown , both are dominant . This allows both of them to become **carrier **of the **blue **eye **recessive **allele.
**Brown **eye color (B) - Dominant

The eye color of the puppies results from the inheritance of alleles from their heterozygous parents. Brown and green eyes are dominant traits, while blue eyes are recessive, meaning a puppy requires two blue alleles to be born with blue eyes. This situation shows how different genetic combinations can produce varying traits in offspring.
