You asked for it
One of Mendel's Laws states the following.
If the two alleles differ, then one, the dominant allele, is fully expressed in the organism's appearance; the other, the recessive allele, has no noticeable effect on the organism's appearance.
Both my wife and I have brown eyes. 2 of our 3 children (ages 6 and 10) have very brown eyes. However, the middle child (age 8) has bluish brown eyes. Could it be that the Mendel's Law may not be absolute when applied to the colour of eyes, or do I have to suspect baby-switching at the hospital?
