They say that brown eyes are dominant. Therefore, if one parents eyes are brown and the other blue, the child will normally have brown eyes. However, my first child has blue eyes despite her mother having brown eyes.

Now, I would normally just put this down to a quirk of nature, except I have noticed another difference. My first child has a pink pooper (like myself) whereas her mother has a brown one. Surely, you would expect brown poopers to be dominant over pink ones?!?

I need info.

Is it true that brown poopers really are dominant over pink poopers or do I need to go back to the hosiptal to make sure we got the right child?

Please tell me what colour your pooper is and whether your kids inherited theirs from you or your partner.

Thank you.

Excuse my ignorence..and everyone else in the office..
But what is a "Pooper".....

you know... where your poops come out of. Your "ring".

If a pooper is what I think it is, then brown one hour after a curry, then bright pink - bordering on red - for the next 48 hours!

Or am I on the wrong track here Zamo?!!!!!:suspect:

have no idea what a 'pooper' is, but genetics is considerably more complicated.

the simple version is that regarding eyes, brown is dominant and blue is recessive.
Thus to express blue eyes you must have 2 genes coding for it. To express brown you only need 1 gene of the possible 2.

So, blue eyed parents should always produce blue eyed children.

brown eyed parents must have at least 1 brown gene each, so the resulting probability can be;

3/4 brown eyed
1/4 blue eyed

or if one of the brown eyed parents has no recessive blue gene

1 brown eyed

1 blue eyed parent, 1 brown eye (recessive blue) is

1/2 blue
1/2 brown

1 blue eyed, 1 brown eye (no recessive blue) is

1 brown eyed (carrying blue recessive).

On the eyes question as far as I know you have it the wrong way round, blue is the dominant one.

This doesn't mean that two parents both with blue eyes can't produce a child with brown eyes - if they both have a brown eye gene then there is a 1 in 4 chance of producing a baby with brown eyes.

As to the other question I'm sure I have no idea.....

Have you left your work PC logged on here Zamo and some colleague typing this for you, or are you having a 'wacky - backy' moment?:heyhey:

No, that's the right track.

I'm really after input from people who have had kids with a partner with a different colour pooper . I need to know if (like eyes) one is dominant so I can decide whether to take my child back. There's nothing on the internet about it... I can't believe nobody has done a study on it.

If it helps at all Zamo.....there have been incidences in the past where a**eholes have changed from brown to nearly pure white later in life. MJ for instance!!

No, no. I'm only gathering data on "natural" poopers.

I saw a TV program where people were having "them" bleached so they are paler...OOOOhhhh.... :o

Zamo, please say you aren't Sam Miguel !!!!!!!!

I'm off out now to ask my neighbour to 'moon' so I can gather some data for you. I may be some time - about five years with good behaviour and a decent solicitor. I'll just say I was 'looking up some old friends'.

But what the hell, it's for science!:thumbsup:

PMSL!:P Funny thread Zamo . . . As for the scientific method of finding what genes are dominant - what the hell has the colour of the rectum got to do with it!! Ha Ha!:hihi:

Well I'm back Zamo, and here are my findings.

A nose bleed stops quicker in freezing temperatures!!!!:(

Cyclone,
Are there variations in the colour blue of the iris? From simple observations [nothing to do with anthropology], I get the impression that the blue eyes of the Irish I have met are brighter than those of the English. What I mean is, someone like myself, of predominantly English ancestry, would tend to have a duller, grey-blue iris, in comparison to the striking bright blue of so many 'Celtic' types I have seen. Is this kind of phenotypal variation acknowledged in genetics?

Thought I'd raise the tone after talk of "rings", "poopers" etc...

There is generally more than one factor involved in visible characteristics.

There is one gene "for" brown or blue, or whatever, but it doesn't mean that that is the only gene that has any effect on the exact appearence of your eyes.

Its not as simple as you have a succession of genes in your chromosome where this gene does X the next gene does Y etc etc. The genes are not as seperately defined as that, and each gene will probably have several diferent effects based upon combinations of effect with many other genes.

Zamo me thinks you have to much time on your hands when your checking out what colour your own sphincter is and then your kids just to see if its in the genes, funny though but tottally not normal.:)

What about people with one blue eye and one brown eye, how does that happen ?

not really sure. It could be down to the environment as easily as a different gene.

I know that green is a malfunction of the brown gene.

I didn't know I had a pink pooper until recently. My missus mentioned it during one of my "Bertie Bottom Talks" performances. So as you see, I'm as normal as you.

I will never, EVER, eat another pink iced donut again!

I was trying to write something witty ending with I'll get to the bottom of it, or something but cant think of owt

Could someone do me a favour and write a bum related witty reposte as I seem to have a blockage at the minute.

Patient: Surely you mean haemorrhoids?

Doctor: No, definitely asteroids..and they're orbitting Uranus!

I'm trying to see the mirror.

No. I think I'll go for the blue!:hihi:

why the hell would you be looking at buttholes? :P I haven't a clue what colour mine is, I certainly don't know the colour of any of ex's buttholes... and I dont plan on finding out the colour of any of my future g/f's buttholes either!

I thought all buttholes were brown anyways? you can have pink buttholes? I'm gonna have to investigate my own butt now just to see... hmm...

but if you can have pink buttholes doesnt that ruin the whole thing of "bet he likes to pot the brown and not the pink!" :( man science ruins all the good jokes!

Speaking of good jokes, here's one (providing you have very bad taste):

Q. what's the difference between a microwave and anal sex?

A. A microwave doesn't brown the meat.

I can only begin to imagine.....

Killer thread :D I haven't laughed so much for ages:hihi:
Someone pass me a mirror and I'll report back:D
....NOT :heyhey:
