My mom has Hazel like eyes and dark hair and my Dad has brownish-red hair and blue eyes. Blond hair and blue eyes are supposedly recessive traits, so why do all of my siblings and I have blond hair and blue eyes?

Answer
Oy vey. Well...

Your mom must have a recessive gene for blue eyes, and your dad has both genes for blue eyes. Therefore:

mom- Bb
dad- bb

(b=blue eyed gene)
(B=dark eyed gene)
Thus, all of you, which I guess is somewhat strange, all inherited the same genes for blue eyes. So, none of you inherited your mom's gene for dark eyes; all of you inherited your mother's blue eyed gene.

Same goes for your hair color.

Also, it mainly goes by your grandparents. Take a look at those genes; they probably have genes for blue eyes and blonde hair since your parents apparently passed them to your parents.

However, eye color is a polygenic trait, so there are several genes that are involved in the final outcome of your eye color.

(That's why hair color (which is also polygenic) and eye color vary so widely.)

I hope this helped!!

Jessica

i need make up tips for a girl that has small eyes red hair and light blue eyes with really fair skin! but i cant over due it. usually i slap on eyeliner and lip gloss. but i want to add more. but i cant were to much i think it just looks plain trashy!

Answer
Do an image search for Lily Cole. She's a redhead who seems to posses all your same qualities. Small blue eyes, red hair and fair skin. She's always pretty simple too with her makeup.

Couple picsI especially liked b/c of her makeup... pink blush, simple lips (but go glossy), soft eyes with brown liners. Let that hair be the show stopper!
