My sister is the only person in my entire family that we know of who has blue eyes.

So, they save her and Bright, and create an alternate timeline that’s the source of a slew of new supervillains?

Also: pony genetics are nonsensical, cf. the Cake family.

@Background Pony #7710  
it’s not that your family has dominance for blue, but they are pure lines, where both genes are the same, if a blue eyed pure line and a green eyed pure line have kids they will all have green eyes

They mean that some genes are dominant. Recessive genes (like the ones for blue eyes) only express themselves if no dominant genes are inherited. If someone has blue eyes, they didn’t inherit the dominant gene. :)

@Wiimeiser  
Everyone in my family except my aunt and sister has blue eyes, so blue is dominant in us.

@Philweasel  
Aren’t blue eyes one of the most recessive genes in humans in general, and brown eyes one of the most dominant? It wouldn’t surprise me if the Marfan Syndrome gene is the most dominant gene and the gene responsible for the ability to read the most recessive. Someone else noted Apple Bloom has nothing in common with her mother, which might make sense, apparently daddy genes are dominant except for the sex chromosomes of males (why hemophilia is practically unheard of in females: you need a hemophiliac father and a carrier mother and the chance is still less than 50%). Apple Bloom did inherit one thing from her mother, though: Marfan Syndrome, of all things

Blue eyes are recessive. My mother is the only one in the family with blue eyes too.

That expression runs in the family.

By Celestia she bears more fruit then the trees.

Nopony have the mother’s eyes???
