brown eyes are dominant although you could have been born with your mothers eye color

If you go to the above website, and scroll about halfway down, there is an eyecolor calculator thatyou can try different outcomes based on your parents.

Answer 3

Brown is the dominant. You could've had your mom's eyes, depending on what color eyes your dad's parents have.(then the light eyes would have been in his genes) Look at it this way: capital B stands for brown eyes, and lowercase b stands for light eyes. your mom's eye color is bb(light from both her mother and her father) Your dad's eye color could either be Bb(if one of his parents has light eyes) or BB(if both his parents have dark eyes) So, your eye color is Bb (capital B from your dad, lowercase from your mom)  You could've had light eyes, if one of your dad's parents had light eyes.

Answer 4

brown eyes are dominant. Blue/green eyes are recesive.  

Answer 5

You could make a punnett square to find out...

Think in terms of dominant(brown eyes) as a capital and recessive(blue eyes) as a lower case.

Dad--brown eyes TT

Mom--blue eyes tt

dad--   T                 T

m --   t

o --    t

m

Then put the letters together:(imagine the lines--this is a graph)

the off spring are the squares:

  ---   T         T

t   - Tt        Tt

t   - Tt        Tt

Brown is dominant, so all of the children would have brown eyes..unless dad has a recessive gene for blue eyes:

- --  T        t

t  - Tt      tt

t  - Tt      tt

In this scenario each child would have a 50 percent chance of having blue eyes.

Answer 6

it is possible for you to have mom's eyes if your dad had that colour in his genetic makeup....
