What eye color would our children have most likely? Brown? I have brown eyes, my mother has gray/blue eyes, dad has brown eyes. His mother had blue eyes. I only have half siblings, so will not count their eye colors. Fiance has eyes that are green around edges with light brown star around the pupil. What eye color would that be genetically? Brown? Green? Hazel? His mother has green eyes. His father has brown eyes. His brothers and sisters have blue, green, light brown, and darker brown eyes. If you can explain eye color inheritance, that would be cool. I had trouble understanding some of the websites I went to, so try to carefully explain it for the average person who isn't a genetics expert. Thank you...
Please explain eye color genetics...?
Eye color, comes from melanin, just like skin or hair color. blue eyes=no melanin in the eyes, and brown=a saturation of melanin. all the colors in between are just different saturation's of melanin. Its really hard to determine eye color%26gt; if you have brown eyes and so does your fiance. you may still have blue eyed babies. Brown eyes though are dominate so if you both have brown you'll more likely produce offspring with brown eyes. And there are other factors that influence it also; for example a person may have genes for brown eyes, yet some other factor may block that gene, so they will end up with blue eyes, or one blue eye, or blue eyes with a speck of brown.
But to answer your question simply, if you have brown eyes and your mate has brown eyes, you have about a 50/50 chance for brown eyed babies (since you both also have recessive genes for light colored eyes). If your mate has blue eyes it brings that down to about 25%. Please explain eye color genetics...?
Genetics is hard for me to explain...but I can however expound on the bbbb (which would be a recessvie trait...of lets say blue eyes)....and we can say BBBB is brown....while bbBB (bBbB/BbBb) could be blue green or BBbb could be blue green....BBBb may be hazel. The caps are the dominant genetic components [while lowercase would be recessive]...and the letters are just the phenotypes--or what the trait will look like physically.
Different way to put it....crossing breeding flowers RR = red while rr = white. So RRrr would be pink....and RRRR would be red...and rrrr would be white. Hopefully that made it make sense....lol sorry if not.
it'll be whatever gene is strongest in you guys. that's with everything. its like hair colour... the reason there is so few red heads is because its a very week gene... so i don't know... just test it:P
I don't know if this is true, but I've read somewhere that all Caucasian babies are born with dark blue eyes, which slowly changes to its real colour when the baby grows up.
