For example, human beings have an allele (B) for brown eyes, and an allele (b) for blue eyes. A person with allele pair BB has brown eyes, and a person with allele pair bb has blue eyes. A person with allele pair Bb or bB will have brown eyes -the allele B is called dominant and b recessive so to have blue eyes, one must have the allele pair bb. The alleles don't mix" or blend"
