Imagine that a true breeding alien mother has blue eyes, which are dominant. The true breeding alien

father has yellow eyes, which are recessive. What color are the offspring’s eyes if aliens inherit genes the

same way that pea plants do?

The offspring has blue eyes because the dominant trait will take over the recessive trait.

The offspring has yellow eyes because the recessive trait will take over the dominant trait.

The offspring has green eyes because blue and yellow will mix to make green.

There is no way to know what color eyes the offspring will have.
