If you have brown eyes and black hair and you carry two recessive traits of reddish brown hair and of eyes that change from hazel to gray and your mate has hazel eyes and brown hair describe the baby?

You (A) have brown eyes and black hair. Those are 2 dominant traits. However you are heterogeneous. A traits of red (well, I know it's reddish brown, but for all intents and purposes, it's red), and a trait of hazel/gray. Both are recessive.
Now, your mate (B) has hazel eyes (recessive), and brown hair. Brown hair is dominant, so your mate could be heterogeneous (as in, one dominant, one recessive), or homogenous (two dominant). Let's map out a Punnett square for this.
Eyes - there are 7 genes that make up eye color, so this is only a rough approximation.
A - Tt
B - tt
Remember, recessive genes only show up if there's two. So, let's see.
You can have the combinations of: Tt, Tt, tt, tt. So you have a 50% chance of hazel eyes, 50% brown. That ISN'T, however, to say that if you have 4 kids, 2 will be brown eyed and 2 will be hazel eyed. It randomizes each time.
Hair - another rough guess - first square
A: Tt
B: TT
Now, hair genes are a little weird because both black and brown are dominant. If, say, your mate is homogeneous, as I've guessed, then your kid will have black or brown hair, but a higher chance of brown since there are two genes.
Hair - second square A: Tt
B: Tt
If your mate is heterogenous, well, the same thing happens. Your kid will have black or brown hair with an equal chance, UNLESS the recessive gene (t) happens to be red hair. Then, your possibilities are TT, Tt, Tt, tt. 75% chance for black or brown hair, 25% for red.

In Mendel's experiment why did traits show up in the f1 generation that were not present in the f1 generation?
the traits were recessive
Are many undesirable traits in humans recessive?
the term recessive traits referrs to genetics there are no bad traits recessive traits are the ones that are less likely to show up such as lleft handedness dominate traits are things like eye color,the color of your hair and skin etc
What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
What did Mendel call the observed trait and the trait that seemed to disappear?
he called the observed traits dominant and the disapear traits recessive.
What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!

What do organisms pass to their offspring?
They pass on traits. There are recessive traits and dominant traits. The dominant trait is normally the one that overpowers recessive
What is meaning of recessive traits?
an inherited character determined by a recessive gene

How did gregor mendel describe dominant and recessive traits?
when two have matedthen they have a baby or whatever you call itthen its has both of the parents genesand thats it

If you have a child with reddish brown hair but the parents are brown and black headed with blue and brown eyes how can the child have red in his hair?
......... Perhaps the grandparents have red hair. LOok up- dominant and recessive traits.
Can parents have different traits then the offsprings?
yes because the traits can be recessive
