What protein does the eye color gene encode?
melanin
Can a white mother and a mixed father have a white baby?
Yes it is possible. The caucasian mother will have two genes that restrict melanin production in the skin and the mixed father will have one gene that restricts melanin production. Since the baby will get one copy of the gene from each parent, the mother will obviously pass on the gene that restricts melanin production. The father will either pass on the restricting gene or the non-restricting gene. If the father also passes on a copy of the restricting gene then the baby will be caucasian. If the father does not pass on the restricting gene, the baby will have a darker skin color.

Yes. Blue eyes and green eyes are caused by the same gene. The amount of melanin in the eye determines the eyes color.

How are people albino due to a lack of enzymes?
Without the proper enzymes, melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, cannot be produce. Normally, enzymes are made by cells using a gene or genes from the DNA. However, if a person has a mutation so that either they do not produce enough melanin or they cannot properly make melanin, or they cannot manufacture melanin period, or another such problem, the person will be an albino- they will lack pigmentation.
If a woman has green eyes and a man has blue eyes what will their baby's eyes color be?
The genetics of eye color are more complex than previously thought. Almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur.
