A mutation is an occurrence that remains consistent in the genetic code from generation to generation. Being color blind is not a mutation because it is not hereditary. It is considered a minor defect of vision, much like being near sighted or far sighted.
No. Mutations are changes in a genomic sequence. Blue eyes are not changes.
Blue eyes
There's the biological answer and there's the physics answer. Biologically, yes, it's determined by your genes. Interestingly, the mutation that originally caused blue eyes occurred only about 10,000 years ago. Prior to that, all humans had brown eyes. Everyone who now has blue eyes is a descendant of that one person with the mutation. The physics answer is that the blue color is caused by Rayleigh scattering. In other words, blue eyes are blue for the same reason that the sky is blue.
Possibly a genetic mishap or a mutation ( not like the ones from X-men)
Blue eyes were caused by a genetic mutation.
determined by a variation in the OCA2 gene that affects the production of melanin in the iris. This mutation results in less melanin being produced, leading to the characteristic blue color of the eyes. An individual must inherit two copies of this gene variant to have blue eyes.
Blue eyes are a result of a genetic mutation that causes low melanin production in the iris, allowing light to scatter and reflect back a blue color. This trait is typically inherited in a recessive manner, meaning both parents must carry the gene for the child to have blue eyes.
It's probably just a genertic mutation as it doesn't seem to be a survival trait.
It is rare for an Indian to be born with blue eyes as the genetics for blue eye color are typically not common in Indian populations. This could possibly be attributed to a genetic mutation or a blend of ancestral genes.
Most people of African descent have brown eyes. Only a very small percentage might have blue eyes.
Blue eyes are a comparatively recent mutation. They're regarded as more attractive than brown eyes an so confer a mating and reproductive advantage. In short, people with blue eyes tend to be more successful in the mating game and produce more children.
Tiger eyes are anywhere from golden amber to dull amber. The white fur mutation in Bengal tigers allows the eyes to be either blue or green.
