Brown eye gene = B
Blue eye gene = b
Each person has two copies of the eye color gene in their genome, one inherited from each parent. Now if both parents only carry the gene for brown eyes, BB and BB, then their child will receive one B from each parent, ending up as BB. The same works for blue eyes, if that's the only gene both parents carry, bb and bb. Each parents gives on b to the child, who ends up as bb.
If you have one parent who only has the gene for brown eyes, BB, and one parent who only has the gene for blue eyes, bb, then all the children will have brown eyes. Example: One parent gives a B, the other gives a b. Bb = brown eyes. Here's why: When you have two alleles (coding sequences) from genes that are at odds with each other, one version will override the the other. When dealing with eye color, B always dominates b. But these children now carry the b gene in them, and could pass it down to their own children. Some of them, depending on the other parent, could end up with blue eyes.
If one parent is Bb, and the other is bb, then each time they have a child, there is a 50% chance it will have blue eyes. Example: First parent is Bb, second parent is bb, then their children will end up as either Bb, bb, Bb, bb. If both parents carry the genes for brown eyes and blue eyes, then each time they have a child, there is a 25% chance it will have blue eyes. Example: First parent is Bb, second parent is Bb, then their children will end up as either BB, Bb, Bb, bb.

How can you use dominant trait in a sentence?
The dominant trait for eye color in humans is brown, which means that if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes, the child is more likely to inherit brown eyes due to the dominant trait.
What color would your eyes be if your parents have different eye color?
if your parents have different color eyes: if eyes are not brown, no brown gene lets say one green other brown. green parent may have green/blue gene. brown parent may have brown/green gene. your eyes might be blue. 1/4 chance of it.
Can blond haired blue eyed people have kids with brown eyes?
Yes Of Course-- Edit --Yes, all people have 2 sets of genetics for eye color. Their actual eye color and one other which is more than likely determined by their parent's eye colors.So, if a couple where one person has blue eyes and the other has brown eyes has a child that has blue eyes that child has a 2nd gene which is likely brown, therefore their child can have brown eyes.
What color will the baby's eyes be if the mom has brown eyes and the dad has blue eyes?
If the baby gets a brown eye gene from one parent and a blue eye gene from the other parent, the child will likely have brown eyes because brown is dominant over blue. Or if the brown eyed parent has a blue recessive gene and the baby gets it then that child will have 2 blue eye genes and will have blue eyes. Of course there could be other recessive genes of other colors so the child could have hazel or green too. This is my basic understanding of how it works.
If one parent has gold hair and sea green eyes and the other dark brown hair with brown eyes what the baby's hair and eye color be?
Blond and green genes are recessive so it depends on the brow-eyed, brown-haired parent's genetic lineage. Most probably most of the children will be brown-eyed and brown haired.
What are the outcomes for a punnet square?
The likely-hood of receiving either a dominant or recessive gene from each parent. One parent might have a Bb and the other parent have bb, where B is for dominant brown eyes. If you put them together, You will have a Bb, Bb, bb, and bb. That means you have a 50% chance of having brown eyes sense bb means you do not have brown eyes.
What colour will the child's eyes be if one parent has brown eyes and the other parent has blue eyes?
Brown, blue, or a mixture making a grayish blueish brown!
If mother have green eyes and father has dark brown eyes grandmother has blue eyes and grandfather has brown eyes what color might the child have?
The child could have green eyes, dark brown eyes, or blue eyes based on the genetic combinations of the eye color alleles inherited from the parents and grandparents. The specific outcome would depend on the exact combination of alleles passed down to the child.
What color was grant's white horse?
Grant's white horse is likely the color white. This horse may have other colors like brown or black in spots though.
What color eyes will the child have father has brown eyes and mother has black eyes?
It depends on the genes but most likely brown because the allele for brown eyes is dominant over all other alleles
What color eyes will the child have father has black eyes and mother has brown eyes?
It depends on the genes but most likely brown because the allele for brown eyes is dominant over all other alleles
What color eyes will the child have father has brown eyes mother has brown eyes?
Sort of. Your eye color is controlled by your genes, and your genes come from your parents BUT for instance; both brown eyed parents could carry a recesive blue gene and both could have passed it on to the child ... yes, the color came from the parents, but neither parent seems to have it.
