Abnormalities in children might be due to genetic factors. Because individuals have dominant and recessive genes, some predictions can be made about such things as color of eyes or genetic disease probabilities. If the mother has brown eyes but has a recessive gene for blue eyes and the father has blue eyes (homozygous recessive), what is the likelihood of them having a blue-eyed child? What is the likelihood of them having a blue-eyed child? What is the likelihood of them having a brown-eyed child?
