    2. The disorder is recessive and carried by both parents

    3. One – two parents have brown eyes and blue eyes. The blue eyed parent has only blue genes. The brown eyed parent might have one blue gene and one brown gene. As loing as the child inherits the brown gene, they will have brown eyes.

    4. It’s not cystic fibrosis because cystic fibrosis is recessive. Phenotypes with dominant alleles do tend to be more freqeunt in apperance. Not sure about attached earlobes…
