Question
A study found that children with light-coloured eyes tend to have parents with light-coloured eyes. On its own, does this tell us whether light eye colour is dominant or recessive? further crosses/data
Yes, it proves light eye colour is dominant
Yes, it proves light eye colour is recessive

It proves eye colour is not inherited at all
Answer
No, this pattern alone is not enough to determine dominance or recessiveness without
Detailed Explanation
Simply observing that a trait runs in families does not by itself establish dominance or recessiveness; that requires tracking crosses (e.g., between different-eyed parents) and offspring ratios.
