Funny, I have friends who both had blue eyes produce a brown eyed child. I always thought it was impossible and she cheated on him. She assured me it was his. I just some things you learn in school is a lie. Here is more on the issue: http://seps.mgd-colo.peak.org/cvoracle/faq/eyecolor.html |

Its not so much that you were lied to, just given an oversimplification. Eye color, like many traits, is controlled by many genes (polygenic) that can interact in a variety of ways. In addition to the actual pigmentation, there are also genes that determine the distribution of pigment (even, blotches etc.) A couple of sites that provide a bit more information are given below http://www.athro.com/evo/inherit.html http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=2 |
