Green and blue eyes are caused by the same gene. So neither would be dominant over the other.
Eye color is an example of a characteristic that can be inherited as either dominant or recessive. Factors such as skin tone, hair color, and height can also be inherited in a similar manner.
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. This means that the trait will not be observed in the individual if they have at least one dominant allele. Examples of recessive traits include blue eye color and attached earlobes.
Not necessarily. The blue eye color trait is recessive, but other factors can influence eye color inheritance. It is possible for two blue-eyed parents to have a child with a different eye color if there are other genetic factors at play.
if you go back to the beginning of your family tree, maybe a family member had brown eyes brown eyes is a dominate trait and blue eyes is a recessive trait, even tho they may both show the recessive trait they may both poses the brown eyes dominate trait and pass it onto you and you will show it. as the name implies you are more likely to show the dominate trait (75% chance dominate and 255 chance recessive). interestingly enough this means that you do have the recessive blue eye trait but you do not show it.
The first human trait shown to be inherited by Mendelian rules was eye color, as demonstrated by Gregor Mendel in his experiments with pea plants. He found that eye color followed simple dominant and recessive inheritance patterns.
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
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.
neither they are both ressessive colors in the color genes brown is th most dominant color wise

Yes, sepia eyes in Drosophila are a recessive trait. The sepia eye color phenotype is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the enzyme dopachrome isomerase, resulting in the brown eye color characteristic. Two copies of the mutated gene are required to exhibit the sepia eye color phenotype.
Yes, it is possible for you to have inherited the hazel eyes trait from your uncle as a recessive gene. Hazel eyes are a result of a combination of different eye color genes, where the presence of the hazel trait may be recessive in your family. However, eye color inheritance can be complex and influenced by multiple genes.
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.
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.
Not necessarily. The blue eye color trait is recessive, but other factors can influence eye color inheritance. It is possible for two blue-eyed parents to have a child with a different eye color if there are other genetic factors at play.
YES! Eye color may be determined by a recessive gene for other than the parents actual eye color.
You can buy contact lenses that will make your iris appear green, but will not change the actual colour (your eyes will still be brown once you remove the lenses).
