are blue eyes dominant or recessive genes?
37081
The brown eye form of the eye color gene (or allele) is dominant, whereas the blue eye allele is recessive. If both parents have brown eyes yet carry the allele for blue eyes, a quarter of the children will have blue eyes, and three quarters will have brown eyes.

Blue eyes have a low level of pigment present in the iris. Recently, scientists announced that everyone with blue eyes is related! ... And they may appear to “change color” from gray to blue to green depending on clothing, lighting, and mood (which may change the size of the pupil, compressing the colors of the iris).

Blue and green eyes are rare in East Asians, but not unheard of. Scientists have identified more than 20 different genetic factors that can increase a person's chances of having blue eyes. Most are SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) which are the smallest units of genetic variation.

Blue eyes have a low level of pigment present in the iris. ... Brown is the most common eye color. Individuals with brown eyes have more melanin present, and over half of the people in the world have brown eyes. Gray eyes may be called “blue” at first glance, but they tend to have flecks of gold and brown.

Most of us were taught in high school science class that we inherit our eye color from our parents, and that brown eye color is dominant and blue is recessive. ... This phenomenon has little to do with genetics, but it does help explain where hazel eyes come from.

For gene 1, there are two possibilities, brown or blue. The brown version of gene 1 is dominant over the blue one. What dominant means is if at least 1 of your two copies is brown, then you will have brown eyes.

Scientists have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6,000-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today. New research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor.

True blue green eyes are extremely rare. To qualify as having blue green, one must have a hint of both colors in the iris. This is a distinctive feature that separates people who have hazel eyes, where either green or brown are prominent. A person can also have blue green eyes if there is a different color in each eye.

A dominant allele is always expressed, even if one copy is present. ... You only need one copy of this allele to have brown eyes. Two copies will still give you brown eyes. A recessive allele is only expressed if the individual has two copies and does not have the dominant allele of that gene.

Brown and green are dominant eye colors. There is 75 to 95% chance of the baby getting brown or green eyes if both the parents have same colored eyes. Blue is a recessive eye color. It's highly unlikely for a baby to have blue eyes if both the parents have brown eyes.

This is unlikely as many people born with brown eyes will be heterozygous for those traits, meaning they have both a dominant allele for brown eyes and a recessive allele for blue/green eyes. ... There are 500 million people or so with blue eyes … not really at any risk of dying out.

Blue Eyes & Polled Genetics. Blue eyes are found most commonly in Nigerian Dwarfs or Nigerian Dwarf crosses. Blue eyes are dominant in goats, so if one parent has blue eyes, then there is a good chance that he can produce blue-eyed babies. Let's explore the genetics of blue eyed goats.

Eye color was traditionally described as a single gene trait, with brown eyes being dominant over blue eyes. Today, scientists have discovered that at least eight genes influence the final color of eyes. The genes control the amount of melanin inside specialized cells of the iris.

You may have noticed that Siamese have blue eyes. That blue eye color is thanks to a special genetic allele they carry that causes a form of albinism. ... But for cats with Siamese or Burmese alleles (gene pairs that cause temperature-sensitive albinism), there is no pigmentation — or color — in the stroma.

Your baby could be born with blue eyes, but it might not stay that way. In fact, nearly all Caucasian babies have blue eyes at birth. In most cases; however, the eyes darker over the first year or two. Melanin production kicks in over time.

Men with brown eyes were rated consistently as more dominant than blue-eyed men. No such effect of eye-colour was found for the photos of women. Eye colour also bore no association to the attractiveness ratings. Next the researchers used Photoshop to give the brown-eyed men blue eyes and the blue-eyed men brown eyes.
