Eye color is dictated by your genes, having hybrid brown means that your genes are Bb (i think eye color is the letter b) or whatever letter it is. It just means that either
1)one of your parents has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes
or
2)both have brown eyes and their parents were in the first situation

Is eye color an example of a trait?
False, eye color is an example of a trait. Hair color, nose shape, and curly and not curly hair are all also traits. Anything that can possibly be unique and distinguishable is a trait, so yes, eye color is a trait.
What color eyes will the child have father and mother has brown eyes?
Either. 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.
What gives your eye its color like brown blue green?
Eye colour is rather complex, but basically you have 2 layers in your eyes that can have pigments. If none of these layers have pigment in them then you have blue eyes, if you have 1 layer with pigment in it you get green eyes. If both layers are pigmented then you end up with brown eyes.
Is eye color caused by genes?
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.
What characteristics demonstrate incomplete dominance?
hair type, eye distance, eye size, eyebrow color, and red color tints in the hair. :)
Are your DNA or Genes responsible for your eye color?
its nothing realy its just that u get your eye and hair color from your parents genes....i think
Can where your from affect your eye color?
Yes. The genes for eye color are inherited.
How you get your eye color?
Eye color is caused by multiple genes, which are inherited.
How are babies eye color determined?
The eye color is determined by the genes of the parents.
Why do huskies have a blue and brown eye?
because its in their genes
Is eye color a inheritance?
eye colour is due to polygenic inheritance. 2 genes specify for the green/blue pigments and 2 or more genes encode for the brown pigment. the brown genes mask the blue/green genes. eye colour is purely genetic as it is not subject to environmental influences. it was originally thought that eye colour was controlled by 2 genes, but since the human genome project , it is now known that many more genes are involved.
How many genes control eye color and fur in a white tiger?
One. That's it.
Is eye color an example of a trait?
False, eye color is an example of a trait. Hair color, nose shape, and curly and not curly hair are all also traits. Anything that can possibly be unique and distinguishable is a trait, so yes, eye color is a trait.
What happens when genes stop working?
when genes stop working it stops your reproduction process and you cant see your bull eye
What is the best explanation for the many shades in human eye color?
Eye color is a polygenic phenotypic character and is determined by the amount and type of pigments in the eye's iris. The genetics of eye color are complicated, and color is determined by multiple genes. In human eyes, these variations in color are attributed to varying ratios of eumelanin produced by melanocytes in the iris. Eye color is an inherited trait influenced by more than one gene. These genes are being sought using associations to small changes in the genes themselves and in neighboring genes
Is eye color an acquired trait?
Yes. The genes for eye color are inherited from the parents. 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.
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 :)
