Black eye color is a recessive trait meaning that for someone to have it both the mother and father would have to pass off the gene for Black eyes. Since the dominant gene always prevails over the recessive and one of the parents had blue eyes, this means that the parent with black eyes had both recessive genes for black eyes and therefor passed on the recessive gene. The other parent with the Blue eyes must have both genes blue and black, but since blue is considered to be dominant over black the blue, they have blue eyes, but passed on the recessive black eye gene.

B - Blue Eye Gene (Dominant)

b - Black Eye Gene (recessive)

Mother - Bb (Blue Eyes)

Father - bb (Black Eyes)

Child - bb (Black Eyes)

How can a black mother not have a white child but a white mother can?

Skin color is determined by the combination of genes from both parents. A black mother and white father can have a mixed-race child with a range of skin tones. However, a white mother and white father cannot have a black child because both parents lack the genes for producing darker skin pigmentation.


What is the risk of a colour blind child in a family when father is colour blind and mother is normal?

if the child is a boy, 0%. if it's a girl, either 100% if the trait is dominant in the father or 50% if it is recessive. there is also the possibilty of the daughter having it but just being a carrier (has the disease but no signs of it)


Father is a Dark Black Man Im a White Female what color will your baby be?

Genetics is a complex interplay of different factors, but a child of a Black father and a White mother could inherit a range of skin tones depending on the specific genetic combinations. The child could be anywhere on the spectrum between the parents' skin tones or may fall in between. Skin color is determined by multiple genes, so it's not possible to predict with certainty what color the baby will be.


Can a brown eyed father and a green eyed mother produce a green eyed child?

Yes, it is possible for a brown eyed father and a green eyed mother to produce a green eyed child. Eye color is determined by multiple genes, so the combination of these genetic factors can result in a child having a different eye color than either parent.


If red is the dominant hair color but the father has brown hair and the mother has red hair and the hair color of the father is dominant then what color will the hair of their child be?

It's very hard to answer this question as there are no details on what alleles the fathers or mothers DNA contains. The father has to have an allele for red hair for the child to have a chance of having it. Presuming that the father has a brown and red hair allele and the mother has the same it works out like this. Brown + Brown = Brown Brown + Red = Brown (Because it's dominant) Brown + Red (from other parents) = Brown (Because brown is dominant) Red + Red = Red The chances of brown therefore is 3:1 as you cannot be sure on what the child will receive.

Does the mother or father pass on the color blind trait?

It depends. If the child is male, the person to pass the trait on must be the mother. She may be a hybrid or color-blind herself for her to be capable of doing this. If the child is female, the father must be color-blind in addition to the mother being a carrier. Both have to donate the recessive gene to their daughter.
