It depends on the family but I assume that its a recessive gene.
if you go back to the beginning of your family tree, maybe a family member had brown eyes brown eyes is a dominate trait and blue eyes is a recessive trait, even tho they may both show the recessive trait they may both poses the brown eyes dominate trait and pass it onto you and you will show it. as the name implies you are more likely to show the dominate trait (75% chance dominate and 255 chance recessive). interestingly enough this means that you do have the recessive blue eye trait but you do not show it.
Yes, if there is brown eyes in the family, then yes, it is possible.
Dominant and Recessive refer to different types of genes a child gains from its parents. In general, a dominant gene overpowers a recessive gene (like more people have brown eyes than blue eyes), but there are some cases where recessive genes are visible on a child over the dominant gene.
1/4 because either your grandma/pa gave genes to your mom/dad and they were either dominant or recessive so you'd have to look up family history
a male with one recessive allele
It's depending on how your family is. If your family is 75% hairy and the 25% isn't then it's dominant your family is 25% hairy and 75% isn't then it's recessive. If it's 50/50 then it can go either way.
Althought the diabetes skipped many generations in my family, it was apparently a recessive trait because the newborn was diagnosed with the disease.
If you have 2 parents which have a history of brown eyes in their family and you got blue eyes this would be considered a recessive trait.

Recessive gene of X chromosome. more common in men as they have only one x chromosome but in female there are 2 X chromosome. If one of X chromosome in female has this recessive gene, they become a carrier. If both the X chromosome in female has this gene, they show baldness
gene Recessive. Traits not necessarily evident in the parent, but in the family somewhere. It is a gene thing, but just" gene "can represent other things besides recessive traits .

because some one in the family had and and it recessive trait
A family tree is a great idea, but the science is based on probability. The probability that a recessive trait will show up in a family is 25% if both parents are carriers. In order for a recessive trait to show up in a person, he/she must inherit a copy of the recessive trait from both parents. If one parent is recessive, let's say "rr" and the other parent is a carrier, say "Rr", the probability is 50%. If both parents are recessive, the probability is 100% (rr x rr). If neither parent carries the trait the probability is 0% (RR x RR). BUT, this only tells you what MIGHT happen. We all know that the probability of having a boy is 50:50, but we all know families of all boys. So it would be interesting to see if the probability works out in your family. If you do a search on the web for "genetics" or "probability and genetics" you will get plenty of hits. vanhoeck
