Yes. As do all of your traits. Today, scientists have discovered that at least eight genes influence the final color of eyes. The genes control the amount of melanin inside specialized cells of the iris.

How many genes are responsible for eye color in this example?

Eye color is primarily determined by multiple genes, with two of the most significant being OCA2 and HERC2. These genes interact to produce variations in melanin levels, leading to different eye colors.

Overall, it's estimated that at least 8 to 12 genes contribute to the full spectrum of human eye color variations.
