that you received from your mother masks the expression of the blue eye, recessive allele. It is kind of like the game Rock, Paper, Scissors, but in this case, brown beats non-brown. If you have blue eyes, you had to have inherited a recessive, non-brown eye allele from both parents.This is a case of a dominant allele masking the expression of a recessive allele. Recessive alleles are only expressed if you inherit two of them, one from each parent.hat you received from your mother masks the expression of the blue eye, recessive allele.

(a) City, county and municipal rates vary. These rates are weighted by population to compute an average local tax rate. (b) Three states levy mandatory, statewide, local add-on sales taxes at the state level: California (1.25%), Utah (1.25%), Virginia (1%), we include these in their state sales tax.
Figure 1 shows how the sales tax is calculated if a retailer sells five books costing $20 each and the tax rate is 8 percent. As discussed later in this report, Californiaâs sales tax rate varies across cities and counties, ranging from 7.5 percent to 10 percent.The stateâs average rate is 8.5 percent.aliforniaâs state and local revenue from the sales taxâwhich totaled $48 billion in 2013â14 âhas grown at an annual rate of 7.3 percent since 1970â71. Over the same period, total sales tax revenue has grown faster than personal incomeâa measure of the size of the stateâs economy.
