Green eyes and blue eyes are caused by the same gene. The amount of melanin in the eye determines the eyes color.

Why do I have green eyes and neither of my parents do?

Has anyone in your mom or dad's family had green eyes, because you could have gotten it from your grandparents or great grandparents. if not, it has been a recessive trait in both your mom and dad.


If both parents have green eyes will their baby have green eyes?

Maybe. Could have blue eyes also. The same gene causes blue eyes and green eyes. The amount of melanin in the eye determines the eyes color. You might also consider making a Punnet-Square that can determine the chances of your baby having green eyes. You need to know the dominant/recessive genes of the parent.


Are green eyes dominant or recessive?

Green eyes are usually considered a recessive trait because they are less common than brown eyes. In order for someone to have green eyes, they need to inherit two copies of the gene for green eyes, one from each parent.


Your mom eyes are brown and your dad's eyesv are gray and your brothers eyes are brown and your other brothers eyes are blue and you have green eyes why is that?

Brown eye color is dominant. Since the grandparents have blue eyes, which is recessive to brown, the parents with brown eyes can be carrying the blue eye color but the blue is not expressed. If both parents are carrying the blue eyed gene, the chances that a child would have blue eyes is 1 in 4. Yes, it is possible.


Can black people have green eyes?

I'm Indian and I do. My mum and dad (my brother too) have dark brown eyes but my dad told me my granddad (his side) had green eyes. I don't know why we have green eyes, so don't ask. By the way they are natural.

Green eyes aren't really special. Green eyes are rare, and most people find them very beautiful. Usually if someone has green eyes, one or both of their parents has blue eyes.

If your boyfriend and his dad are the only ones in all of their family that have blue eyes while everyone else has green and everyone in your family has brown eyes what color eyes will your baby have?

How do you get a blue eyed ocelot in Minecraft?

You probably mean a blue eyed cat, because Ocelots are the cat found in jungle biomes, that have yellow fur with black and brown dots, and green eyes. When you tame one with a couple of raw fish, there are three different types of cat that it can turn into:- Tabby (Orange with green eyes)- Tuxedo (Black with green eyes)- Siamese (White with dark faces, paws, and tail. Has blue eyes)The Siamese cat is the only one with blue eyes, so the only way to get one it to keep taming Ocelots untill you get one!
