Best Answer

sectoral heterochromia is when one iris has a splash of color that's different from its overall hue, a trait that actress Kate Bosworth has. Eye pigmentation abnormalities are not necessarily a sign of an underlying health condition. This is known as simple heterochromia, and is generally inherited from a parent.

What is Heterochromia?

Heterochromia is a condition where one eye's iris is a different color than the other eye's iris or one part of an eye's iris is a different color than the rest of the same eye's iris. Heterochromia is more common in dogs and cats than it is in humans. It can be acquired genetically or by an injury or inflammation.

Do you get your eye color from your parent?

Yes you get your eye color from your parent. The parent that carries one dominant gene and one recessive gene for a specific eye color and the other parent carries two recessive genes for a different eye color, you will get the eye color of the parent who carries the dominant and recessive gene. In other words, the dominant gene trumps the recessive gene. In another scenario, if both parents carry two recessive genes for a specific eye color, then you will inherit the recessive gene of that color.

Why do I have one green eye and one blue eye?

You most likely have a condition called heterochromia, which basically means all or part of one iris is a different color. Eye color is determined by the amount of melanin in your iris and an increase or decrease in the iris can cause a color change. It's not really an issue, it just looks cool, and is pretty rare in humans so people point it out alot (happens to me constantly, often from the same people) But yeah either that, or, like David Bowie, one of your eye's suffered damage causing the change.
