What eye color genes do I carry?What eye color genes do I carry?
Sorry, if both your parents had light eyes (technically called blue, but green counts, too) then so would you. Look in the mirror again. Like anyone with blue eyes, you would have the gene on both chromosomes. If you insist your eyes are brown, then so are your biological dad's (whoever that may be).What eye color genes do I carry?
Bb or brown from your dads side, hes Green and Brown, Green being the more dominant, and blue from your mother, because blue is recessive, and will always be homogeneous (bb).
Eye color genetics do not conform to simple Mendelian rules as it is a polygenic trait, so it is impossible to know which alleles you are actually carrying.
your more unlikely to have brown on blue, more than the green. if you knew the unknown of your great grandparents than it might be easier, but since we dont know, brown and blue are you best bet
If that is right, Your father had to have brown eyes.


Brown eyes are the dominate eye color and blue and green are recessive. If two recessive parents have a child, the child will most likely carry the recessive gene.


Somewhere, it's messed up.


That is not possible, unless the grand parents had brown eyes.


It would be like two white people having a kid and the kid is black. That is not possible. You father has to have brown eyes, or your mother is keeping a dark secret
The milk mans.
Apparently one of your grandparents had brown eyes, and it was probably your father that gave you a brown gene for it instead of the green. Since blue is highly recessive, it's unlikely your mother gave you the gene. You probably have another gene for blue since it's hard to have blue eyes plus another gene for another color. Blue eyed people generally have both parents with blue eyes.
D) All of the above
blue green and brown

So, eye color doesn't technically follow the dominant/ recessive inheritance pattern. It's actually a really good example polygenic inheritance- where multiple genes influence a single trait, in this case, eye color. The variation in shades and colors are due to the influence of many genes and also the frequency of each type of allele with respect to each gene. As far as familiar similarities, there is a BETTER chance, so to speak, of having any eye color other than blue, since, as other posts described (though not very clearly), it is almost always a combination of multiple recessive alleles (which, in a purely mathematical since, is low in probability). So, it is not possible to know the specific genes which you inherited from your mother and father without knowing the many genes which encompassed each of their eye colors, respectively. To this end I have no answer to your question, but eye hope you found what i wrote useful. :-)
