I won't get into this, cause it's way too much reading and I would probably have way too much to comment so nevermind...but...this caught my eye:
"Timbo, I think it's a recessive gene. Just because you have blue eyes and I have blue eyes doesn't mean we would have a blue eyed child, not if we both carry the dominate gene for brown eyes"
Actually, blue color is a recessive gene, which means both alleles (form of gene, we get one from mom and one from dad) have to be blue to be able to have blue eyes, brown color is a dominant gene, which mean a person can have only one allele for brown and still have brown eyes. Therefore, if both parents have blue eyes (which means both allele code for blue) the child will have blue (or maybe green) but not brown. So if u had infact carried a brown gene...u would have brown eyes not blue. Am I making any sense ? Ask any questions for futher explanation :-)
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
