Question

A cat is blinded in one eye in a fight. When this cat later sexually reproduces with another cat, how will the blindness affect the offspring?

All of the offspring will be blind because blindness is a dominant trait.

Some of the offspring will be blind, if the blind cat passes on the allele for blindness.

Most of the offspring will be blind if the other parent cat carries the same allele for blindness.

None of the offspring will inherit blindness from this cat, because it is not a genetic trait.

Answer 1

In my point of view, it is the last one because the blindness wasn't caused by genes but by other factors. But its better to check on the internet

Answer 2

thanks for trying

Answer 3

if the cat lost its eye in a fight, none of the offspring will be blind. If it is not a trait inherited at birth it will not affect any offspring. think of it like if one of ur parents has an accident and lost a finger. that doesnt mean u will have a missing finger because that wasnt in the genetics. hope that helps at all :}
