Okay, here is my question. I know that in genetics brown, eye brown eye couples have a possiblility of green or blue eyes if they have a recessive gene dormant that it is possible to have a green or blue eye child (if there is a recessive gene green being more dominant over blue, but brown is usually dominant. I also know that blue eye blue eye are most likely to have blue eyes and blue, green combinations can have blue or green. What I am wondering though is whether a brown eye blue eye couple could have green eyes if mother of blue eyed person has green eyes. Is there a possibility of green in the brown eye, blue eye couple? Are there any sites that has more detail on this? Could you give me those sites if there are.
And no offense to didn’t I even take biology, yes, but if you weren’t so close minded to look there is more to genetics than just blue-brown, eye colors and it was not an idiotic question to ask. Maybe you should study up on it yourself because genetics is not just one solid eye color. Not if a blue blue eyed person had a brown eye child there would be no possibility because it is a genetic impossibility. I was asking a logical question.
By blue eye blue eye, I mean no possibility of brown eye genetics on either side.

I’ve been trying to look for a good database of plants that has their basic characteristics, along with some information about their genetics.
Does anyone know of a resource that is almost like Wikipedia but also contains information as to:
1. Whether the plant is a diploid, haploid, polyploid.
2. The number of chromosomes that plant has in each cell.

I’ve searched for a while now with nothing surfacing and thought I’d try you guys.

Thanks!

I’ve read a lot of stuff on eye color genetics. It usually focuses on dominant and recessive genes like a brown eye color will overpower the blue and green eye color gene. And a green will overpower a
blue.

But in my case my mother has green eyes and my dad has baby blue eyes and I got teal eyes?? I’ve read nothing that explains inbetween colors.

Well, my biology teacher gave us a website on the Jefferson-Hemings case where they used DNA to solve the fact if the children of Sally Hemings were actually Jefferson’s and she wants us to write her an essay on about how the genetics worked. I’m a little confused on this. Could anyone help explain?

After all among Americans who call themselves White, over 30% of them are genetically mixed with some distant Black and or Amerindian ancestry. And than ofcourse there are millions of people in Latin America who call themselves White that are geneticaly mixed with some distant Black and or Amerindian ancestry.
And I even heard that a sizeable percentage of Australians who call themselves White, have some distant Aboriginal ancestry.
