Green and blue eyes are caused by the same gene. So neither would be dominant over the other.

What is the phenotype of an orgarism?
The phenotype is the characteristic or trait that is expressed in the organism. So, for example, if a person has blue eyes, his/her phenotype for eye color is blue. In case you didn't know, the genotype is simply the gene that codes for the phenotype. So with the blue eyes, the genotype of the person for eye color must have been recessive alleles (because blue eyes are a recessive trait).
If mother has brown hair and brown eyes and father is blonde hair and blue eyes what is the possibilityof the child having green eyes and blonde hair?
It's absolutely possible, and I am living proof of it. The chances are extremely slim though, because both the trait for blond hair and the traits for green eyes are recessive. Green eyes are the rarest eye color, because green eyes are not only recessive to the brown eyes trait but also recessive even to blue eyes. I couldn't give exact odds, because the process of genetic recombination is random, but if both traits existed somewhere earlier in the family line, (one parent or more is a carrier) then the combination is not impossible. Even with blond haired people, most tend to exhibit either blue eyes or brown because of green's recessiveness to the two. Having the most recessive eye color trait and the second rarest hair color in the world appear together in one person is exceptionally rare though, but still possible.
What is one genetic trait that masks another form of a trait?
A dominant trait masks another form of a trait, also known as the recessive trait.
Can a brown eyed mom and a green eyed dad get a green eyed baby?
Yes, the mother with brown eyes has a second eye color potential. In biology it is called a recessive trait. She can bare children with different eye colors. By my professors account, his friends had seven children with blue eyes, and both parents had brown eyes. They say the brown eyes are the dominant trait, but it is obviously not a fact or it is not always the case. The mother in your case probably has a parent with blue or green eyes I would suspect.
An example of a trait you inherit from your parents is?
Eye color.
Are green-hazel eyes recessive?
Brown Eyes are Dominant, Blue Eyes are recessive, Green Eyes are Dominant over Blue and Recessive to Brown Eyes, Same for Hazel. ACTUALLY!!!!...Green Eyes are more recessive than any eye color including Blue Only 2% of the Worlds Population have them! WRONG!!!!... Green Eyes ARE dominant over blue. It's just that the Green Eye trait is more rare.
How are dominant and recessive traits different?
A dominant trait is the trait that will show. A recessive trait is the trait that is hidden. For example if your mom had brown eyes and your dad has green eyes you would have brown eyes because brown eyes are the dominant trait
Is eye color an example of a trait?
False, eye color is an example of a trait. Hair color, nose shape, and curly and not curly hair are all also traits. Anything that can possibly be unique and distinguishable is a trait, so yes, eye color is a trait.
Do you get your eye color from your parent?
Yes you get your eye color from your parent. The parent that carries one dominant gene and one recessive gene for a specific eye color and the other parent carries two recessive genes for a different eye color, you will get the eye color of the parent who carries the dominant and recessive gene. In other words, the dominant gene trumps the recessive gene. In another scenario, if both parents carry two recessive genes for a specific eye color, then you will inherit the recessive gene of that color.
Can a child have green eyes if parents have blue eyes?
YES! Eye color may be determined by a recessive gene for other than the parents actual eye color.

Are green eyes dominant over brown eyes?
In most cases, no. If your parents give you a blue eye trait and a brown eye trait, you will most likely have brown eyes. However, there are many different alleles that factor into your eye color. That is why there are so many shades of eye color, such as blue, green, gray, brown, hazel, blue-green, etc... So, you may not always get pure blue or brown eyes, you may get a mix of both.
Is it possible to have a green eyes baby if your husband have blue eyes and you have brown?
yes because it depends on the eye color of the you and your husbands parent's eye color because the gene may be recessive
Can several alleles affect a single trait like eye color?
Alleles affect traits like eye color. Alleles for brown and blue eyes are dominant and recessive respectively. Individuals who have homozygous and heterozygous genotypes with the dominant allele will have brown eyes. However individuals are homozygous for the recessive allele will have blue eyes.
Does your eye color come from your culture?
Eye color comes from melanin levels within your eye. This can be inherited through parents. Although brown, and other dark pigments are usually more dominant. It is possible for a recessive trait to be inherited, if it is carried by either one of the parents. skin tone or cultural backgrounds does NOT affect eye color.
If mother has brown hair and brown eyes and father is blonde hair and blue eyes what is the possibilityof the child having green eyes and blonde hair?
It's absolutely possible, and I am living proof of it. The chances are extremely slim though, because both the trait for blond hair and the traits for green eyes are recessive.

Because of this eye color shows a continuous variation from very dark brown to green to blue What is this an example of?
polygenic trait
