Yeah, both your parents have a blue gene. Two blue eyed people can only have blue eyed children, but two brown eyed people can have any colour. Probably one of your grandparents had blue eyes! Is that right? Peace, Rotae

Yeah, you carry a recessive blue gene from your dad. Not blue is dominant, so you need two blue genes to get a blue eyed child. It works like this:
You get a gene from both your parents. Say both you and your partner have a parent who has blue eyes, but you have green or brown, your genetics would look like this: Bb(you) and Bb(partner) (B being the dominant Brown or Green and b being the blue). If you put it in a table that shows all of the possible combinations, it looks like this: .....B / b B BB / Bb b Bb / bb
The outcomes being, BB (dominant brown/green not carrying the blue gene), Bb and Bb (brown/green but carrying the blue gene) and bb (blue).
So, you have a 25% chance of your child not carrying the blue gene at all, 50% chance if your child having brown or green eyes BUT carrying the blue gene (which can be passed to their children), and a 25% chance of them having blue eyes.
All in all a 75% chance of a brown or green eyed child and a 25% chance of blue!
But, if one of you have the BB gene (and don't carry the blue) there is no chance of a blue eyed child because the combinations (even if you had blue eyes) would always end up as Bb, with them being dominated by the Brown or Green.
That's your genetics lesson for today. See you tomorrow!

I loved genetics, it was so awesome! Another thing that's genetic is whether or not you have hair on your fingers in the middle joint (between the one with the nail, and the one stuck to the hand). My Dad does have it, and my Mum doesn't... and I have it on all of my fingers except my pointers! Weird huh? lol. Also, rolling your tongue. My Mum can, my Dad can't, but it's a dominant gene, so I can!
