I have a question. From what I’ve read two brown eyed people both with the recessive blue eyed gene have a 25% chance of having a blue eyed baby. One blue eyed parent and one brown eyed parent (with recessive blue eyed gene) have a 50% chance of having a blue eyed baby.

But what chance does a baby born with brown eyes to two brown eyed parents (both with the recessive blue eyed gene) have of also inheriting the recessive blue eyed gene? Do recessive genes always carry through to the off spring? How many generations can it last before it is eliminated? Neither of my parents have blue eyes but I do.

it was a great diplomatic system based on <:BASED:639981478284886021> Bismark, they lacked the Herring

It's weird that Japan and Germany were technically at war during WW1, and were allies with Britain and supplied arms to them, and I think they even had some engagements North of Africa.

The Royal navy used Type 33 Arisaka rifles.

During WW1.

Whole world was at war with the central powers.

and Namibia was a colony for 30 years ... that's quite some colonialism compared to britain, france, ...

Still, better than Austria-Hungry, but I can understand why it would have no baring on a war between those two.

Does anyone know if recessive genes are ever eliminated or do they always get passed down even if they don’t show up in their off spring for many generations?

Turns out those annoying scoped MG campers were actually a thing during the war.

Like moldbug

Moldbug did nothing wrong

I'm using light mode rn

Moldbug's writing style feels like what I imagine having a group of Jewish Hollywood execs jerking off onto your face would feel like.

so someone has to write a moldbug redux blog

He could use 1/10th the words to say the same thing.

@iamwhoiam i think you have a 50% chance of just being a carrier

that is, you get one brown eye gene and one blue eye gene

25% chance of getting blue eyes, that is both blue eye genes

and 25% of not getting any blue eye genes

in this simplistic model

So you can purify genes in 4 generations.

i'm not sure if that's the whole picture with brown and blue eyes, though

there are other genes involved in eye color

you can use a punnett square

@stem I’m confused. So if I had a child with someone with brown eyes but no recessive blue eyed gene, my child would have a 50% chance of carrying the blue eyed recessive gene even if it doesn’t show up in him? What happens if he marries someone with brown eyes but no recessive blue eyed gene, does their child have a 50% chance of carrying the blue eyed gene also

in this model, your child would have at least one blue eye gene no matter what

because we are assuming you have two

as a recessive gene for a trait that you display

your spouse would have to have at least one blue eye gene for you to have a child with blue eyes

but if htye have no blue eye genes, your child would be a carrier, but would not have blue eyes

Let me rephrase. Is the recessive blue eyed gene always passed down? (I’m not talking about whether it actually shows up in the child’s phenotype)

it is not always passed down

you have two of each gene

in your case, you would always pass it down because both of yours are blue

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