The genetics of eye color are more complicated than previously thought. Color is determined by multiple genes. The genetics of eye color are so complex, that almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur. As for hair, the genetics for hair color are not yet firmly established. Different combinations can happen in a family.

∙ 10y agoTraits like eye color are inherited as alleles (a gene that can have alternate forms) from both parents. In the case of a trait determined by one gene, each parent passes on one allele, giving the offspring a total of two alleles, one in each chromosome in a pair. Alleles can be dominant or recessive: A or a. For example, an allele for brown eye color is dominant, or A, while blue is recessive, or a. There are four possible combinations: AA, Aa, aA, and aa. Blue eyes can only occur if no alleles for brown eyes are present-- that is, only in case aa. The other three cases would produce brown eyes. In traits governed by many genes, it is more difficult to map inheritance.

∙ 12y agoThat depends on what color eyes you possess. Hazel eyes are. Blue or brown are not. I know this at 13 due to a great science teacher!!

If A red flowered plant is crossed with a white flowered plant all of the offspring is pink what inheritance pattern is this?
Incomplete dominance: for example is seen in hair type inheritance. Curly hair type (CC) is dominant to straight hair type (cc). An individual who is heterozygous for this trait will have wavy hair (Cc).
