Dominant vs Recessive: Genetics

This is a picture of my moms eye. She has green eyes which are a recessive trait. Eye color is a linked trait, so she might have gotten eye color and height together on one chromosome as a single gene. This picture relates to genetics because most people pass on the dominant eye color brown, to their offspring but my mother got green. I think she got green from her father, he had hazel eyes. My father has brown eyes and my brother and I got a mixture of these traits. My phenotype resembles the dominant trait: dark brown eyes. My little brothers eye color is light brown due to the green eye color trait.
