2.you inherit a pair of genes for each one of your traits. one of the genes in the pair comes from your mother, and the other comes from your father. some genes are dominant, which means they will usually be evident in a person's physical traits. other genes are recessive. recessive genes will only be evident if the other gene in the pair is also recessive. suppose a fetus inherits a dominant gene for brown eyes from its mother and a recessive gene for blue eyes from its father. what color eyes will the baby have? explain.
