if both parents have the dominant gene for eye color example: if the mom has a dominant gene for green eyes and the dad has a dominant gene color for blue, what will be the baby's eye color? i learned in science that dominant always expresses itself over recessive.

In a gene pool only one allele is dominant, that means that either blue or green eye color is dominant but not both.

it's true dominant genes always over power recessive genes. the child will carry the genes for both colors but will only have one or the other or it is possible for them to have one of each one blue eye and one green eye, but this only happens with brown and blue or brown and green and doesnt happen very often. you can find out what color the baby will have by doing a punnet square, you will learn this if u havent already.

draw a square and divide it into 4. on the left side and on the top write capital letters B ( for blue eyes) capital letters mean dominant and lower case are recessive) and a capital G ( for green eyes)

looks like this:
B G

B
G


so the possibilties are BB which mean the child will have blue eyes. BG which mean they could have both or either
and GG which means they will have green eyes.

this means there is a 50- 50 chance of either

The dominant gene for eye color is brown. It depends on the genes that they pass on. Each had two genes. If one on them passes on a brown gene, the baby would have brown eyes. If both pass on a gene for blue, the baby wils have blue.

Eye color is a polygentic trait, meaning that more than one allele controls the expressed eye color. This is like skin color. You do not have the exact same skin color as your parents. You skin color is actually the expression of ten genes, eye color is four genes. for each allele dictates what colors will stick to the iris of the eye, and other will control how they stick, if at all.

you may understand that for the time of basic terms a tiny fraction of alleles and genes paintings in the undemanding, classic way that Mendel defined. fairly than asserting that allele A is dominant, it is fairer to assert that, under maximum genetic backgrounds, allele A is thoroughly dominant over allele B. yet whilst allele C is likewise dominant over allele B, then something ought to take place in an organism with the two A and C. perhaps considered one of the two is thoroughly dominant over the different. perhaps it relies upon strongly on what alleles are modern in different genes. perhaps you get a co-dominant effect. And comparable with 2 alleles which take place to be recessive whilst in comparison with another allele D. those 2 alleles must be co-dominant to one yet another, or one ought to dominate the different, or perhaps the effect is impossible to foretell, because of the fact it is in keeping with what's occurring in different genes, or our surroundings. It in basic terms relies upon on the suited subject.

there is a 50% chance of either

OR

there could be codominance in which both dominant traits are expressed so you can get blue/green eyes.

dad mom
BB GG
BG BG BG BG
the child will get 2 dominants which wil result in different colour eyes too the parents

brown eye is d dominant one.. nt blue or green eye characters. those r multiple alelles. the order of dominance is brown>black> blue>green. so the baby wil have blue eyes if both d parents r homozygous 4 the character..

The babys genotype will be BG, but there is no certain phenotype. Even if it was Bg, you cant be certain of the eye colour. this is because 3 gene pairs are known to influence eye colour.

eye color is a phenotype, meaning dispalyed charicteristic.
it uses more than one gene
