A mutation is an occurrence that remains consistent in the genetic code from generation to generation. Being color blind is not a mutation because it is not hereditary. It is considered a minor defect of vision, much like being near sighted or far sighted.

Are blue eyes a mutation?
No. Mutations are changes in a genomic sequence. Blue eyes are not changes.
What color eyes are mutant?
Blue eyes were caused by a genetic mutation.
What is one example of a mutation that causes an improved trait?
Blue eyes
What makes blue eyes blue?
There's the biological answer and there's the physics answer. Biologically, yes, it's determined by your genes. Interestingly, the mutation that originally caused blue eyes occurred only about 10,000 years ago. Prior to that, all humans had brown eyes. Everyone who now has blue eyes is a descendant of that one person with the mutation. The physics answer is that the blue color is caused by Rayleigh scattering. In other words, blue eyes are blue for the same reason that the sky is blue.
Why does my FuzCub from a full generation of black eyes on CreatureBreeder have blue eyes?
Possibly a genetic mishap or a mutation ( not like the ones from X-men)

It's probably just a genertic mutation as it doesn't seem to be a survival trait.
Why was blue eyes advantageous to people living in prehistoric times?

Does mutation occur to create new phenotypes of organisms?
A mutation occurs randomly and can cause a new phenotype. For example, blue eye color is caused by a random mutation in the genes governing eye color. This mutation occurred between 6000 and 10000 years ago. Before that, nobody had blue eyes.
Are blue eyes mutated eyes?
No blue eyes are not mutated, but green eyes are, there are only three types of eye colour genes, brown-brown, brown-blue, blue-blue, most babies are born with blue eyes, blue eyes are not mutated,
Do you have toxins in your body if you have blue eyes?
No... Some raw foodists claim that brown eyes are actually toxins in the body and if you eat right you will turn you eyes back to the pretty blue color they are supposed to be. This however is not correct at all. The truth of the matter is that eye color is a genetic inheritance that can not be changed. Blue eyes are actually a genetic mutation form the original brown eye gene that all once had.
