What do genes proteins and trait have to do with one anthor?
A trait is an inherited characteristic of an organism. One example is eye color. When a gene codes for the trait "brown eye color" we mean that the person has proteins in her eyes that are shaped to reflect the brown color. The reason she has those particular proteins is because she has the gene that is the instructions for those specific proteins. So: the gene is the instruction to make the protein that is the expression of the trait.
What gene causes one to have brown eyes?
It is not just one gene that causes the color of eyes. Eye color genetics is complicated and it takes many genes to create an eye color. Regardless of the parents' and children's eye color any combination can occur even for the same eye color.
Do genes determine a persons eye color by coding for nitrogenous bases that affect eye color?
I'm not sure on the complete mechanism for the formation of eye colour however genes are made of the four nitrogenous bases A, T, G, C. So the simple answer is no they don't as the genes for eye colour don't encode for any bases at all instead they encode proteins which in turn will effect eye colour. Hope this helps :)
WHO concluded that the gene for eye color is located on the sex chromosome?

How are alleles different from genes?
A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a specific protein. An allele is the different forms of that gene. The commonly used examples are things such as eye colour (although this is an over simplification as the true nature of the genes governing eye colour are a little more complex): You have a GENE for eye colour. That GENE comes in (normally) two forms. These two forms are called ALLELES. One ALLELE is for blue eyes and one ALLELE is for brown eyes. ALLELES can be DOMINANT, RECESSIVE or CO-DOMINANT.
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.
How do you explain the principle of dominance?
Genetic dominance? One gene is dominant over the other gene in the chromosome pair by having it protein product made totally at the expense of the recessive gene, or the protein product dominates production. For instance, blue eye color is recessive to brown eye color. You have two alleles ( different molecular form of the same gene ) in this case; one from one parent and one from the other parent. Only the brown allele expresses and is called dominant then.
What are the genes that control eye color called?
Eye color is a polygenic phenotypic character.Eye color is determined by amount and type of pigment in eye's iris.eye color is determined by multiple genes.EYCL1 eye color- green/blue. Gene located on chromosome 19EYCL2 eye color- brown eye colorELCL3 eye color- brown/blue. Gene located on chromosome15.

How many genes influence the color and the eye of a tiger?
A single gene influences the color and the eye (color) of a tiger. In other words One gene. Source: Life Science book

Does your eye color mean anything?
Well eye color is a gene passed down from you parents apart from that. Nothing.
Why don't people judge people by eye color?
its your gene

Which Chromosome has the trait For Blue Eyes?
Chromosome 19 has a blue/green gene. Chromosome 15 has a brown/blue gene. The genetics of eye color are more complex than realized previously, and more than one gene is involved in determining eye color.
What are inherited traits of fruit flies?
eye color (red/white) and body color (brown/yellow). In fruit flies, eye color is a sex-linked trait determined by a single gene with two alleles. Red color is dominant to white eye color. Body color is an autosomal trait determined by a single gene with two alleles, where brown is dominant to yellow. -Angela B.
