A member asked:
2 african american parents. moms grandfather was white with blue eyes. the baby turned out white with blue eyes statistically what odds was this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recessive trait: Blue eyes are a recessive trait. That means that a gene for blue eyes must be inherited from both mom and dad in order to get a baby with blue eyes. There is not enough information in your answer to give a statistical probability.
