Phenotypes, Genotypes, and Eye ColorHello all,
I have a question that I'm working on for a college biology assignment. My dad's mom and dad both have brown eyes, but all 3 of their children have blue eyes. I have no information on my great grandparents. I need to know what the genotype would be for each individual so it would be: my dad's dad: brown eyes my dad's mom: brown eyes my dad: blue eyes my aunt: blue eyes my uncle: blue eyes Here is the the specific wording on my assignment: -If an individual in the family shows a recessive trait but the parents both show the dominant trait, what would be the genotypes of each individual? I have done so much research and I am just not finding any info on this. Most of the sites I go to say it is impossbile for 2 parents to have brown eyes and the children all have blue eyes. If anyone could help me on this, I would greatly appreciate it!!!!! Thank you & have a good day!!!

consider, for simplicity, that there is only 1 gene with brown and blue alleles. The brown allele is dominant over blue allele. If a person has brown eyes, what are possible genotypes? If a person has blue eyes, what are possible genotypes? http://www.biolib.cz/en/main/
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
