@TheUserNameofPeace as per your advice, i got a shedload of sardines today

because the frequency is calculated simply by counting the genes, not the displayed phenotypes

and since the genes are still in the population, you would still occasionally get both the same in one person

But if my brothers have a 50% chance that the blue eyed gene has been eliminated from them, and their kids have a 75% chance it’s been eliminated from them (if they marry someone with two brown eyed genes), eventually the gene could be eliminated totally? It comes down to chance

Oi oi aussie m8

your brothers have a 25% of no blue eye gene

if your parents have 100 kids, about 25 will have blue eyes, 50 will have brown eyes but have one of each genes, and 25 would have only brown eye genes

but again, the disclaimer that eye color genetics is a bit more complicated than thsi

look at this article

Two blue eyed parents will always have a blue eyed child?

if it is a single gene recessive trait, then yes

unless they have a mutation

which is extremely rare

Tfw you have blue SNPs

So it’s virtually impossible to know how long the recessive blue eyed gene could be passed down but not show up? It could be 3 generations or it could be 10?

this thing holds the ashes of jews in the middle of berlin today

How did they fit 6gorzillion in there?

@iamwhoiam it depends on a lot of factors

but obviously, the more rare the gene, the less blue eyes you will see

if the population is mating randomly (mixing up), that will make it more rare

but mixing won't make it disappear unless one type has more kids than the other type

We must secure the existence of blue eyes and a future for blue eyed children

“because the frequency is calculated simply by counting the genes, not the displayed phenotypes

But you said that recessive genes can leave a genetic line altogether.

yes

@Weaboo Kempeitai

this depends partly on the population size

I'm exhausted

This is gay

I wanna go home

if the population is large, and the frequency is above some low minimum, then it will stay around
