Does eye color determine parents?

Don't you mean do the color of your parents eyes determine the color of yours ,otherwise you need to explain what you meanDoes eye color determine parents?
Eye colour does not determine parents, but parents eye colour determine the eye colour of the offspring.


Ocassionally the offspring have different colour from ther parents, but if you look back at the grand-parents, the colour appears there.


There is also a rare condition where the offspring has eyes of different colour, one inherited from the mother the other from the father.Does eye color determine parents?
Not necessarily.





It all goes on genes - one eye colour gene from each parent. There are dominant and recessive genes - for instance, brown is dominant to blue. So if you get one brown gene from one parent and one blue from another, you'll have brown eyes but you'll also carry the blue gene. You can see from this that it's quite possible for two brown-eyed people to have a blue-eyed child, but not vice versa.





And that's just two colours! When you consider the whole range of browns, blues, greens, greys etc, it can get very varied! But brown is still dominant to everything else.





For instance, my Mum has brown eyes, and Dad's were hazel. My brother's are brown and mine are grey, so my brother got Mum's dominant gene, I got her recessive one and we both got a recessive from Dad.





Hope this helps!
no, although it is likly that if both parents have brown eyes then the child would have brown eyes and same goes for both blue and so on. it is also poss for a child to have compleetly differnt colour eys thn both parents, it also depends on the grand parents eye colour ect ect. but when a baby is first born the eye colour they have may change form what it first was
how do mean? if your kid doesn't have the same colour eyes as you then their not yours?





no basically its a mix between the mother and father like hair colour the dominant jean will come out. if both the mother and father have the jean for blue eyes then it's likely the child will have blue eyes.





I have blue eyes and neither of my parents do they have brown and green and my sister has green.
i'm not sure i understand what you mean but i'll guess...


not really


if one parent has brown eyes and one has blue, the child will have brown eyes.


if both parents have brown eyes the child will have brown eyes and if both parents have blue eyes the child will have blue eyes.


brown is the dominant gene so if 1 parent has brown eyes then so wil the child
No, that is an example of an endogenous variable. genes determine eye color and parents supply genes. Parents determine eye color, not the other way.
psh, hardly.


my dad has dark brown eyes, my mom has olive green.


I have bright blue eyes.


explain that. haha
