What color would baby's eyes be if both parents had brown eyes but grandmother had blue?
the baby will have brown eyes. this is because the gene for brown eyes is dominant, which means that it will always over rule a recessive gene (blue) eye gene and the only way a recessive gene could show up in a person is if there is no dominant gene present to push this gene out of the way. in other words, the only way the babyc ould have blue eyes is if both the parents had recccessive blue eye genes. however, you can be a carruer of a reccessive gene, as we have two genes of every kind. for example, one parent could have a dominant brown and a reccessive blue. but this wouldn't show in a person as blue is reccessive. get it? let me know if you need any more information on genetics. :)
You have twin girls with red hair and hazel green eyes your husband has dark brown hair and eyes and you have light brown hair and hazel eyes Red hair is not common in either family Identical?
The gene that gives a person red hair is a ressesive gene, When a child is created, they take a gene both from their mother and from their father in order to make a pair to give them their hair colour. Certain genes are reccessive and certain genes are dominant, Usually, darker hair genes such as brown are dominant, Lighter hair genes such as red are reccessive So if a child receives a dark haired gene like brown from one parent and a lighter haired gene like red from the other parent, the child will have dark hair, as the dominant gene will dominate the hair colour. So, both the mother and the father must have had a reccessive red hair gene, Which the child was given when it was created.
If your father and brother both had Asperger's Syndrome does this mean any children you have will be born with it?
No, it does not mean that all of your children will be born with autism or Asperger's Syndrome. However, because the condition has a genetic component, it means that there is a greater likelihood that you have that gene, in which case you might pass it on to some of your children. You can get tested for the gene if you want so you know if there's a possibility of passing it on to your children
What kind of mutation is triple x syndrome?
Most cases of triple X syndrome are not inherited so it is not a dominant or recessive trait.
What is a dominant and ressesive?
dominant is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. recessive is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor.
Dominant gene plus Dominant gene?
It would be definite that you have that gene or trait.
Is the Huntingtons gene inherited as a dominant or ressisive gene?
It is inherited by a dominant gene.
When one gene expresses itself over another the former gene is said to be the DNA?
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
Is it possible for 2 homozygous recessive individuals to have a homozygous dominant child?
No, homozygous recessive indivuals MUST have two of the reccessive gene (bb), the possible combinations are bb,bb,bb,bb thus only a recessive trait is possible
If you have Andersen's syndrome what are the chances that your two children will have it?
Andersen's syndrome is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. This means that EACH child of a person with Andersen's syndrome will have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene associated with the syndrome. However, not all people who inherit the gene will show symptoms of the syndrome. Children of people affected with Andersen's syndrome should be evaluated by a qualified physician to determine risk.
Autosomal dominant genetic disorder?
An autosomal genetic disorder is Huntington's disease.
If only one parent has to have the gene for Marfan Syndrome to pass it on it is dominant or recessive?
Japanese I'm pretty sure that wasnt one of the options
