In his segment on the life of Alexander, Plutarch describes him as having "light skin, fair hair, and melting blue eyes". Plutarch lived too late to have ever seen Alexander, however, and more contemporary sources describe him as "dikoros," which is a Greek word literally meaning "two pupils." This suggests that he did in fact have heterochromia, which may or may not have involved a blue eye.

If brown eye color is a dominant trait Andy blue eye color is a recessive trait what can be determined about the color of Carla's eye?

If brown eye color is a dominant trait and blue eye color is recessive, then Carla's eye color can be either brown or blue. If she has at least one allele for brown eyes, she will have brown eyes. If she inherits two recessive alleles for blue eyes, then she will have blue eyes. Without additional information about her parents' genotypes, we cannot definitively determine Carla's eye color.


Is brown the dominant eye color?

No, blue is. Blue is a baby's eye color and then they change to whatever color after about one month.


Why Several genes control human eye color. Because of this eye color shows a continuous variation from very dark brown to green to blue. What is this an example of?

Eye color is not an example of polygenetic traits. Skin color is. Eye color is rather simple as far as genetics go (in humans). Brown (B) is dominate and blue (b) is recessive. A person with blue eyes has to have to have both genes for the color blue (bb). A person with brown eye color can has both genes for brown (BB) or one for brown and one for blue (Bb). The blue is not expressed in this case with Bb. Some people have hazel eyes but this is a variation of the blue color.

Why can a person with brown eyes carry blue eye alleles but a person with blue eyes cannot have a brown eye allele in their genotype?

A person with brown eyes can carry the blue eye allele because brown is a dominant trait, so they can have both blue and brown alleles in their genotype. However, a person with blue eyes cannot have a brown eye allele because blue eyes are a recessive trait, meaning they must have two copies of the blue allele in their genotype to express the trait.
