i have hazel eyes and so do most of my relatives, if not brown... but i was wondering if my greatgrandfather from my moms side and the one from my dads side also... could i have their recessive blue gene? or is it too far apart from me? (too many generations in between)

It's certainly possible. My eyes are dark brown, even though my dad's eyes are blue. So that means I must have the recessive blue gene.

From what I can tell from my drawing (too bad I can't put it in here to show you!) there is a 1 in 4 chance that you have a recessive blue gene, at the least. Because I am working under the assumption that no one else has a recessive blue gene, the only sources are your grandfathers.
That is the best guess I can give you!

O yes. The genes can skip a couple generations. Then again your blue eyes could just be the way you are. So get out there and show off those blue eyes girl!!!!!! Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

attempt to think of that a dominant allele is a gene it relatively is expressed even whether that's latest in one reproduction only, on an analogous time as the recessive you are able to truly be expressed provided which you have the two copies. To make it ordinary we can think of that this occurs because of the fact a dominant allele produces a protein that may do its activity on an analogous time as a recessive allele produces a protein it relatively is incorrect for its functionality. Now, in case you have 2 copies of this gene in a cellular, the dominant one will produce a clever protein which will do its activity whether you have particularly much less of it (one dominant as a substitute of two dominant copies). The recessive allele delivers a protein which isn't properly clever, as a result with the intention to exhibit the recessive phenotype you will need the two copies of the recessive allele, in any different case the dominant will nonetheless "tutor itself". in case you think of approximately brown and blue in this way, you will understand why blue eyes are latest only in recessive omozygous people

It is definatly possible for you to have a blue eye child. But that gene would have to come from the sperm also. It takes two recessive genes to over come the dominate gene.

It is possible, but it would be rare unless the father of your baby has blue eyes too.

its possible to have there blue eyes but just like anything with humans it sometimes can skip a generation
