I have brown eyes, however my grandmother has blue eyes and my fiance also has brown eyes but his mom had green eyes and his dad had brown eyes what color eyes will our kids have?
i take it that this video is based on the probability of having children with brown or blue eyes... both of my parents have brown eyes and they produced two brown eyed children and two blue eyed children.
if my brother has blue eyes and i have brown, does it mean i carry a recessive blue for sure? also, is it 100% impossible for a Brown/Brown and Blue/Blue person to make a person with blue/gray eyes?
@sharpezor in theory, it would be impossible to have a blue-eyed child if one of the parents is homozygous for brown eyes (has two "brown" alleles). However, there is a process called penetrance wherein the dominant gene is not expressed due to the presence of certain ther genes - so it is possible (but rare) to even have a brown-eyed child be born to blue-eyed parents.
@sharpezor "does it mean I carry a recessive blue for sure?" -- No. Your brother has two blue genes, which means that his parents must each have one blue gene. Assuming your parents are the same as his, you might have gotten one of those genes or you might not, since each parent has two to choose from. If one of your *parents* has blue eyes, then yes, you have a blue gene. If both parents' eyes are brown, then we know that each has one brown and one blue, and you have a 50% chance of a blue.
It is possible for 2 blue eyed people to have a brown eyed kid, very rare, but possible. I think that teaching it over simplified is fine, but they need to tell people that.
@imanerd36 well, yes, because there's a switch involved in creating blue eyes. If the switch doesn't turn, then the eye will be brown because all human eyes are essentially brown or that's the starting point if switch doesn't occur.
This is a very basic explanation at best. This doesn't explain green eyes, hazel eyes, or even the variations of blue and brown. What about people with different colored eyes, such as one brown & one green?
There are many different genes that have an effect on eye color, not just dominant vs recessive alleles.
Also, I'm not sure where the idea of blue eyes going extinct, and I'd like to throw my opinion out there (for what little it's worth) that this isn't true.
i have brown eyes and my wife has hazel blueish eyes. the thing is some of my grandparents, on my mother and my father side have blue eyes. do i carry one brown and one blue gene?! is it possible for my children to have blue or even green eyes?!
another thing, people on my wifes family (blue and green eyed) have been marrying brown eyed people and they always have blue, hazel and green eyed kids, does that mean that in this case the blue gene is resistant to brown?
Yeah I agree. I think this explanation is very basic science though. It works in theory but not necessarily fully in reality. As for blue eyes going extinct? I've never heard that. I live in Ireland and blue eyes are extremely common as well as red hair which is also recessive gene.
yay my kid has blue eyes. dont let it bother you man. the ice caps are supposed to be all the way melted within 30 years so the end of the world will come b4 blue eyed people are gone
did you know that all blue eyed people are related.? We have a common ancestor that surfaced around the last ice age. Maybe it's a good thing we're dying out -- prevents inbreeding.
And you could accept responsiblility that one day their will be a last blue eyed person...the lone wolf that wonders the world in search for another of it's kind...never to find one...the pain of dying like that is too much for me to take.
My nightmare: is to be the last of my kind...I WOULD DIE IN THE MOST PAINFULL WAY IMAGINABLE, JUST SO THAT MY RACE WON'T DIE OUT...I wouldn't ask for anything more.
they're just eyes, so settle down! There's no extra benefit in having blue eyes except that some people think they are pretty. Heaven only knows why, warm brown eyes are far more charming. Blue eyes can be called icy, cold, deep but never abysmal - not to offend. They're just the result of an accidental gene switch. People will still have their personalities after the fallout, and that's all that matters anyway, right?
An inference such as white people are albino - something often said by afro-centro organizations - a boldfaced lie. This is not true in any way, shape or form. White people are not albino. Adaptation is the most likely reason for nappy hair versus soft, fine hair and black skin versus white skin. African tribesman spent much more time out in the sun, desert and jungles than their white cousins in the medieval cottages and shires.
In the end, such ignorance born of social constructions in the human environment is not tangible proof against genetic variety - no matter how rare a specific allele or gene. We have white dogs, black dogs, white humans, black humans, tan humans, blue birds, yellow birds, blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes... it's endless. In the end, it would be pretty boring if we all looked the same.
also: every-one in my family has conected ear-lobes. conected ear-lobes are like the blue-eyes of ears. XD there's a good deal of history suronding blue eyes, but never EARS.
snager80, that's not true. The inference that darker eyes are "dominant" over "recessive" blue and green eyes is not true. It's a flawed, ignorant idea supported by the ALCU and others. Also, blue eyes - even though rarer and less likely - are actually rarities of nature when compared to brown eyes. It's just a simple ordering of the genes. It doesn't mean anything else to the contrary. I guess you're one of those people who say white tigers are weaker than black tigers? Yeah, right! Get a life!
snager80, color is only a social construction. Nothing more. In fact, race itself and color in genetics is a social construction. Humans have placed emphasis on color unlike God and unlike nature. There are many rare colors of animals, fish and birds that are no "weaker" or less "important" than their darker colored kin folk. It's people like you who promote "social constructions" as fact and are the reason our children are being taught lies in science and history classes across America.
nager80, here's my point. You know how they use the terms "dominant" and "recessive" in classrooms? Do you know why? Because, if they were to say there are rarer genes and not so rare ones, that would not make the mass of people with brown eyes feel very good, and as you know, most blacks have brown eyes. So, this would cause an uproar with the Afro-centro beliefs. So, the ACLU decided to say that "blue eyes" are "recessive." Thus, this is where I have the problem. Got me? Discrimination.
Look snager80, I am thirty-seven years old, and if your 18 year old butt thinks they know it all and don't want to listen to anyone, then I'm done here. When you live 18 more years, come back and see me, but by that time you'll probably understand what I'm saying here.
snager80, wrote you a book? Well, considering you're only nine years older than my own son, I think you need to learn some respect. I guess you've been to medical school, studied genetics and know exactly what the truth is in all things of intellectual aptitude? Dang! Maybe I should take your class instead. LOL
I think this is wrong. Blue eyed and brown eyed parents have blue eyed child 25% if brown eyed parent has 2 brown eye genes. If brown eyed parent has 1 blue 1 brown eye gene, then the child will be blue eyed 75%.
If you put two drops of white into a black paint, what do you get? Gray if you mix it around? It's called simply colors. Any artist can tell you color has nothing to do with which one is dominant or recessive. Just as paints mix, so do colors in genetics. It stands to reason that we should drop the recessive and dominant terminology used in genetics.
you're so STUPID. no, you really, really ARE. black eyes and black eyes some-times make brown. brown and brown sometimes make hazle. blue and blue sometimes makes brown. my mom has blue and my dad has dark brown. both my sisiter and I have brown but HERS' are more yellow. if i mix blue paint with brown, i get a funy shade of brown-gray. i'm an artist so i know.
snager80, stupid? Ummm, you're 18, and I'm thirty-seven with ten years of college education in my background. Go ahead. Call me stupid. When you live life and realize what it's about and come off the teenage hormonal insanity, then come back and call me stupid. So you around that time. Later.
wisdom dosn't come from living a long time. apparently, it comes from paying attention in biology class. * thinks your a creepy old guy* and you've got hormones too, jack-butt.
snager80, you don't know half of what you're talking about, and honestly I don't even think it's worth my time to tell an eighteen year old anything. I was there. I know you think you know everything and then some. However, all dreams do not come true. You are not ten feet tall and bullet proof, and not everybody wins at the end of the game. So, get your young butt in the military, and maybe you'll learn some respect.
you know, in the REAL world what you just said to me is discrimination. it's a lowly steryo-type that ALL teens think they are invinsible and will live forever. i for one fear crossing a buisy street and riding a bike with-out a helmet. further-more, i'm a neo-hippie and wouldn't be cught DEAD in the military! and even if i wasn't a hippie, i'd be GOTH. and if i'm not worth your time, why did you respond to me? AGAIN.? and i am VERY bright.
So, I guess if a diamond is rarer than a ruby, we just say that the ruby is dominant over the diamond even though it's thought to be more beautiful? I'm sorry. I just think it's all reverse racial discrimination. Now, who's racist? I can't believe the reverse discrimination terminology being taught in our schools today.
No, this goes to show you that blue eyed people are rare gems. Diamonds in the rough. Beauty. A find gesture of nature. One is not dominant over the other. That's reverse racism propaganda. So, I guess we say that blue eyes aren't as valuable as the brown eyes? Blue eyes are not recessive. It's a natural rarity of genetics and you can't just get blue eyes unless you're blessed.
what a moron! i see plenty of ugly foes with blue eyes and plenty of drop dead gorgeous people with brown eyes. a gem my ass. my daughter has green eyes and she's gorgeous not because of her eyes. ur just a moron, thanks for making everyone dumber
buddy, I don't know where you get off calling me a moron. I'm simply saying that just because a genetic is not so prominent does not mean that blue eyes come from brown eyes! Give me a break! The more white paint I mix into black, the grayer it becomes. White is still a color though. Same with alleles and genes. Also, your paragraph didn't even make a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing.
I know that two brown eyed people can have a baby with blue eyes if they have the blue eyed gene. What is your point? There's genetic variety everywhere we look in nature. Neither one is dominant or recessive. Just because one is rarer than the other does not mean that it's born of the brown eye. How pathetic. I guess we'll just say that white haired dogs come from black haired dogs, too.
brokenskyy: "Blue is recessive, brown is dominant."
Actually, no. That's not true. You see, blue eyes are rarer than brown eyes, but the "dominant" and "recessive" terms were only used to please the ACLU. Also, just because a genetic sequence is rarer does not mean that the specific sequence was made possible only by a much more common sequence like brown. It's all bull crap. Scientific deception. Black dog hair does not come from white dog hair. It's merely called genetic variety.
One last thing. If black Africans were the first race, it would seem very unlikely that this would not enable them to spread their longer Achilles tendon, which allows them to run faster. It's obvious that real African blacks were hunters and gathers in ancient times, because ability to run faster directly illuminates this fact. Therefore, color is only genetic variety and so is race in the end. Color is only a social construction. In the end, there's only one race: the human race.
No shit, but the fact of the matter is if both parents have brown eyes there is a slim chance that the baby will have brown eyes. If one parent has brown eyes and one has blue than the chances are better. Blue is a recessive gene, brown is dominant. Not because brown if better, and not because blue is worse. Its just the way genetics work. So don't get butt hurt that blue eyes are not dominant.
I have brown eyes, however my grandmother has blue eyes and my fiance also has brown eyes but his mom had green eyes and his dad had brown eyes what color eyes will our kids have?
