a person with one blue and one brown will have sperm/egg with one or the other

Oh so it’s guaranteed that my child would carry the blue eyed gene even if he doesn’t show up with blue eyes?

your child will have at least one gene

because any sperm you make will have the blue gene

What does homozygous recessive mean?

homozygous means you have the same gene on both sides

both of your two versions of the gene are the same

But I have blue eyes so that means I carry two blue eyed genes, right? Which means my child will receive atleast one blue eyed gene?

correct

Are all light colored recessive? Green, hazel also?

Hazel
Light
Good one

but

according to this article, it's not that simple

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color

or it is that simple

i don't know

the article contradicts itself

people without blue eyes are "working class"

people without blue eyes should be deported

Do noseberg have blue eyes

Can you tell if you carry the blue eyed recessive gene if you don’t have blue eyes?

@Tuze yes

@iamwhoiam yes, either with family history or with a genetic test

if one parent has blue eyes, then according to this model, you will have at least one blue eye gene

the blue eyes test isnt enuf

I have blue eyes but neither of my brothers do. You said there is a 50% chance they carry the recessive blue eyed gene, right?

yes

Hmm god, genetics is complicated lol

<:zuccwater:651425688905318410>

this is the simplest genetic model, though

it gets much more complicated

If the entire world mixed, do you think blue eyes would still exist?

yes
