Which of the following does DNA replication produce?
New RNA only
New DNA only
Two molecules, each of which is half new and half old DNA
One molecule with extra DNA, causing the nucleus to divide

Edgar and Alice both have blonde hair, which is a recessive trait. But their first child has brown hair.
What is the most likely explanation?
Blonde hair is not actually a recessive trait.
Another gene caused the alleles for blonde hair to deactivate.
It's not actually possible for two parents with recessive phenotypes to have a child with a dominant phenotype.
One parent has a dominant allele for blonde hair and a recessive allele for brown hair.
