37. Dominant Vs. Recessive

Of course dominant alleles dominate recessive ones, hence its name. In this example, we see a picture of blue eyes and brown eyes. Brown is the dominant allele, while the blue is recessive. Depending on the offspring's parents, the percentage or chances of either blue or brown eyes varies. In my case, my mother has brown eyes, yet still carries the recessive allele for blue, while my father has blue eyes. This gave me and my brothers a 50% chance of getting blue eyes.
