Genetics - eye color?

In sheep, eye color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. When a homozygous brown-eyed sheep is crossed with a homozygous green-eyed sheep, blue-eyed offspring are produced. If the blue-eyed sheep are mated with each other, what percent of their offspring will most likely have brown eyes? Please explain.Genetics - eye color?
25%


brown eyes: BB


green eyes: bb


blue eyes: Bb


if you cross Bb with Bb:


25% brown


25% green


50% blueGenetics - eye color?
Gary is incorrect in the terms of this question. Blue eyes are a recessive trait in humans, but the way the question is worded, the blue eyes are not recessive in sheep. In this case there would not be a dominate or recessive gene, as a combination results in a different trait, making neither dominant. I often saw this example used with red and white flowers making pink flowers. I think this is called co-dominance.
0% will have brown eyes.





A sheep with brown eyes carries two traits; a dominant and a reccesive trait. These can be represented with the symbols B for brown eye color, and b for blue eye color. Now a parent can only pass on one of these. This is more easily shown with a punnett square. But either way, every sheep will have two traits that manipulate eye color. The combination of a Bb (blue from one parent, brown for the other parent) would result in a brown (B) eye. This is because blue eye color is recessive amongst sheep (this also holds true for humans). The only way a sheep could have blue eyes would be if both parents carried the recessive blue eyed trait and they both passed it on. The offspring would have the bb combination as opposed to the Bb combination that the parents had, meaning they will always have a blue-eyed baby if they mate with a sheep that also has blue eyes.








Answer in short: 0% brown-eyed offspring will result from the mating of two blue-eyed sheep.

What eye color is this?

there's no green, too light to be hazel....What eye color is this?
They're gray eyes.





Gray eyes change color according to surroundings, which is why his eyes look grayish-blue. And he appears to have some green around his pupil. Gray eyes usually change between green and blue, so that makes sense.What eye color is this?
The middle looks kinda like a light green mixed with a little gray. The outside looks like a grayish blue. I really think there's some green in there definitely....lol wow, weird eyes. That's cool though, it's unique when your eyes are indescribable. Normal colors get boring.
maybe a really light blue.
they are really pretty... but i would say a light blueish greenish with a little grey lol
i would say this color is probably really light blue or grey.

    Hereditary Eye Color?

    I was wondering what would cause my eyes to change colors. When I was a baby I had dark blue eyes with a ring of light blue in the center and now they are a light grayish blue with a ring of yellow. My mom has hazel eyes with a ring of orange around her eyes, and I'm told my grandmother had the two colors also. So is it hereditary? Is it normal? Anyone else have that?Hereditary Eye Color?
    It's hereditary, but the answers are a lot more complicated now than it used to be thanks to advances in understanding genetics. It used to be thought that there were two genes, a recessive (blue) and a dominant (brown) one, that determined the colors of your eyes.





    Now they're discovering that eye color has a lot more factors in it, partially from environment (similar to skin color, that's why people near the equator have darker skin/eyes than people who live farther away and don't have as much exposure to sunlight), and partly from diet (although you don't want to mess with this, because a poor diet results in sickly eyes, not to mention damage to your body).





    But genetics plays a huge part, and ultimately it comes down to what your parents had.Hereditary Eye Color?
    It is hereditary, it is normal and I have it too.
