What happens then]]> 2017-05-16 17:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lmlammer/wvtstj39fk2u/wish/172163043 https://padlet.com/lmlammer/wvtstj39fk2u/wish/172189875 Why is dominant, dominant?

 There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Different alleles can be dominant or recessive for different reasons. It all depends on the gene. The simplest situation of dominant and recessive alleles is if one allele makes a broken protein. When this happens, the working protein is usually dominant. The broken protein doesn't do anything, so the working protein wins out. But a recessive broken allele doesn't explain everything. Not by a long shot. 

There are many more reasons- too many to put here :(- but here's the website where I got the info from:

Why does this happen? Does something get mixed up, and the dominant gene doesn't override the recessive gene? ]]> 2017-05-16 23:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lmlammer/wvtstj39fk2u/wish/172217091 https://padlet.com/lmlammer/wvtstj39fk2u/wish/172406856 If my dad has blue eyes and my mom has brown eyes how come both my bother and I have green eyes

Green is dominant over blue and brown is dominant over green. Your mom is probably a carrier of the recessive green allele. You and your brother most likely have a green eye allele from your mom and a blue eye allele from your dad.
