Re: Genetics question! Blue-eyed parents have brown-eyed kid?

Posted by rojerono

Kind of off topic - but also a little interesting - one of my friends works in the field of genetics and we had spoken about eye color, etc..

Without going into too much detail she was indicating that one of the 'challenges' with eye color is that sometimes (not always) like to art up their eye color. What she would classify as brown becomes "gold" or "hazel" or "amber". She said a lot of people say they have green eyes - but she'd call them blue - so it throws off her work.

Eh - there are SOOO many variables and the fact remains that you never REALLY know what you are going to get until you actually do IT.

Here is a link to an eye color "calculator".

I guess mom had an affair with the milkman b/c my eyes are GREEN and my parents eyes are BLUE. And it's saying there's an error. So it won't let me go forward. I tested myself and then the brown-eyed girl - she must be a ******* child too.
