>>11278038>because if majority of whites with brown eyes carry that recessive gene then that would mean 1/3 of every child would have blue eyes which isn't the case in every 'white' family.Let's say you have brown eyes, a dominant gene, and you breed with a woman who also has brown eyes, a dominant gene. You both carry the recessive gene for light eyes, but because you both have the dominant brown eyes, your chances of your child having light eyes is little to none.
So let's say you have brown eyes and your partner has light eyes. Because you still have that dominant brown gene, your chances of your children having light eyes is still low, because light eyes are recessive.
Genetics is basically like playing the lottery
