Answer to Question #245545 in Genetics for Shangsahng

Question

Look at you eyes in a mirror. How will you compare yhe color of your eyes with those of your parent

Answer 1

For each trait you can inherit, there are two alleles. If you have blue eyes, that means you received blue alleles from both parents. Your genes also determine your eye color by dictating how much (and where) melanin is produced in your iris. The more melanin produced, the darker the eye color will be.
