A person with brown eyes could or could not be carrying an allele for blue eyes, since it cannot be easily determined by looking at the person itself, there is a need to conduct genetic tracing or by listing all the possible phenotypic and genotypic traits of the person based from his/her parents. The process may determine other traits that the person may be carrying if he/she wanted to go farther from just the color of his/her eyes, and for such case, a person may be carrying an allele for blue eyes, but it is only a recessive trait, and the allele for brown eyes is considered to be a dominant trait.
