Are blue eyes dominant over green eyes?

No. They are both recessive meaning that both parents must have the gene for either blue or green.


What eye colors are dominant and which are recessive?

Brown eye color is dominant, while blue, green, and hazel eye colors are recessive. This means that brown eyes are more likely to be expressed if an individual inherits one brown-eyed allele and one allele for a different eye color.


What is the difference between dominant and recessive gene?

There are no such things as dominant and recessive genes. There are only dominant and recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are parts of a gene that present its features over the recessive allele, which is the one that is always masked by the dominant allele. The recessive allele's trait only shows if both of the alleles in a trait are recessive.


How does heterozygous and homozygous differ?

Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene, either dominant or recessive, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a particular gene. For example, in a homozygous dominant individual, both alleles for a gene are dominant, whereas in a heterozygous individual, one allele is dominant and the other is recessive.


Why is there a greater chance of getting a dominant trait rather than a recessive trait?

A dominant trait occurs when either both alleles are dominant or one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. This is because a dominant allele overpowers a recessive allele. In order to have a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive.

Are green eyes dominant?

With brown eyes, they are recessive.


Are blue eyes if green eyes dominant?

Are brown eyes dominant or recessive?

Brown eyes are dominant. That's why more people have brown eyes then hazel or blue or green.


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.


Is green eye color a recessive trait?

Yes, green eye color is typically considered a rare trait that is usually inherited as a recessive genetic trait. Individuals with green eyes often have two copies of the recessive allele for eye color.


If both parents have green eyes can the baby have blue eyes?

Its unlikely because green eyes are dominant, and blue eyes are recessive. It is still possible, but highly unlikely.


Are blue eyes dominant over green eyes?

No. They are both recessive meaning that both parents must have the gene for either blue or green.


How do you look like your parents?

Each parent has a set of genes that is passed on to his/her offspring (children) and which genes become apparent in the child is all dependent on whichever genes are dominant over the recessive genes. For example, one parent may have blue eyes (dominant) and another has green eyes (recessive); it is more likely that the child will have blue eyes than green eyes*. *This example was merely for explanation; I don't know if blue eyes are dominant over green eyes or not.

Is green a dominat trait?

Depends on what organism, "green" cannot simply be dominant or recessive, it needs to be put in context of some form or organism - for example: are green eyes dominant over blue eyes in humans, or is green foliage dominant over grey foliage in cacti.

Brown eye color is dominant, while blue, green, and hazel eye colors are recessive. This means that brown eyes are more likely to be expressed if an individual inherits one brown-eyed allele and one allele for a different eye color.


What is the color of the baby eyes if the mother have the recessive gene for blue and the father has blue eyes?

I assume you mean the mother has a dominant allele for some other color. Father is homozygous recessive for blue. Dominant allele + recessive blue X recessive blue + recessive blue The baby has a 50% chance of blue eyes and a 50% chance of getting the dominant colored eyes.
