Is it possible to have blue eyes if only 1 side of your family has it in their genes?

Yes, it is possible to have blue eyes if the gene for blue eyes is present in one side of your family. Eye color is determined by multiple genes, so even if the trait is not displayed in one parent, it can still be passed on to their offspring.


Blue-eyed blonde mates with brown-eyed brunette?

It would depend on the brunette's genotype. If they are heterozygous for that trait, then the offspring could be any combination of blonde hair, brown hair, blue eyes, or brown eyes. If the brunette is homozygous dominant, then it's 100% sure the offspring will have a phenotype the same as the brunette.


What if a gene skips a child can that gene be given to there kid?

A person can only pass on genes that he/she has inherited from his/her parents. You may be talking about a situation in which a recessive gene is not expressed in a child because it inherited a dominant allele as well, and is heterozygous for that trait. If that child then has his/her own child, the recessive trait could be expressed in the children of that child, if the other parent also carries the recessive allele.Example: One parent has brown eyes, the other has blue eyes. Their child inherited a brown eye allele and a blue eye allele, and has brown eyes, but is heterozygous. This child then has a child with another brown-eyed person, and their offspring has blue eyes, even though both parents have brown eyes. It just so happens that both of these parents are heterozygous for brown eyes, so they both carry the recessive blue-eyed allele which they each passed on to their blue-eyed offspring. So, this makes it look like the blue-eyed allele skipped a generation, but in reality it was always there, but not always expressed.


Is it possible for a person with brown-eyed parents and no recessive blue eye gene to have a blue-eyed child if their partner has blue eyes?

Yes, it is possible. If one parent has blue eyes, they must carry two blue eye genes (bb) and can only pass on a blue eye gene to their offspring. If the other parent does not carry any blue eye genes, their child has a chance of inheriting a blue eye gene from the blue-eyed parent. This would result in the child having blue eyes.


If a black bird mates with a blue bird what color bird will the result be?

The offspring of a black bird mating with a blue bird can inherit a mixture of genes from both parents, resulting in various shades of dark blue or black in the offspring. The exact color will depend on the specific genes inherited from each parent.

Is it possible for a blue eyed individual to have a parent with brown eyes?

How long does a blue cobalt tarantula offspring stay with its parent?

The spiderlings disperse soon (within a day) of hatching - and are completely independent.

What is a dominant trait when a red eyed fly mates with a blue eyed fly resulting in offspring that all have red eyes?

It is likely that the red eye trait is dominant if a red eye and blue eye fly have only red eyed offspring. However, it is possible that the blue eyed trait is dominant and the blue eyed fly has the red eyed gene and passed it on to its offspring every time.

A homozygous blue flower BB is crossed with a homozygous white flower bb What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring?

The possible genotypes of the offspring are Bb (heterozygous blue) and bb (white). The possible phenotypes are blue and white flowers. Each offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, resulting in a 50% chance of being blue (Bb) and 50% chance of being white (bb).

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.
