Hello all,

I have a question that I'm working on for a college biologyassignment. My dad's mom and dad both have brown eyes, but all 3 oftheir children have blue eyes. I have no information on my greatgrandparents. I need to know what the genotype would be for eachindividual so it would be:

my dad's dad: brown eyes
my dad's mom: brown eyes
my dad: blue eyes
my aunt: blue eyes
my uncle: blue eyes

Here is the the specific wording on my assignment:
-If an individual in the family shows a recessive trait but theparents both show the dominant trait, what would be the genotypesof each individual?

I have done so much research and I am just not finding any info onthis. Most of the sites I go to say it is impossbile for 2 parentsto have brown eyes and the children all have blue eyes. If anyonecould help me on this, I would greatly appreciate it!!!!!

Thank you & have a good day!!!

I heard you on ABC Breakfast talking of the full moon effect. Ihave suffered in no small way from it all my life and medicatemyself to sleep in a full moon, otherwise I don't sleep. As anengineer and science interested person I have thought a lot aboutthis phenomenon and have come up with a theory, which I'm verysurprised has not been considered previously. You said in yourarticle that gravity was excluded as a factor, but this is not thecase. Gravity is affected by the mass of the moon and it'sproximity to your location. The tides have complex interactionswith the earth and the sun, so making conclusions from the tidesalone is not always valid in relation to gravitational forces.Lakes are not tidally affected because there is no where for thewater to go. The ocean tidal waters don't go up and down like abath tub level, they go in and out like the waves on a beach. Iconclude that the increase of the gravitational force makessensitive people restless, and hence in a sleep lab, they are stillexposed to gravitational changes. I suggest the way to verify thisis to measure the gravitational force at different cycles of theearth and moon. I am also affected by air pressure in a similarway.When the air pressure is high, and it'sa full or near fullmoon, I'm unable to sleep without medication, and if I do partiallysleep, I have wild dreams. When the opposite is the case, I sleeplike the dead. Temperature is the other obvious variable thatexacerbates this cocktail of influences as well. Also, from anatural selection view, maybe we are restless at times of full moonas we are more visible to night predators, and need to keep morealert for that. As I said, I'm amazed that science hasn't resolvedthis question a long time ago. So much of nature is cycled by themoon.
