You know when you have a baby, I was wondering what traits they get, like hair, eyes ect. from the partners. So far my mom tells me that the guys jeans are more dominate than the girls, is that really true? =O

Both genders can carry the same amount of dominate and recessive genes. It doesn't matter if the gene came from the female or the male, only if the gene is dominant or recessive.
Every animal with two sexes gets 50% of their genes from their mother and 50% from their father. If one of their parents gives the child a dominant gene (like the gene for brown eyes or B) and the other gives a recessive gene (green eyes or g) the child will have the gene Bg, and will have brown eyes. The gene for green eyes is still there, but brown eyes is what you see.
