As of 2010, as many as 16 genes have been associated with eye color inheritance. Some of the eye-color genes include OCA2 and HERC2. [9] [10] The earlier belief that blue eye color is a recessive trait has been shown to be incorrect, and the genetics of eye color are so complex that almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur.

The aspects of human vision which develop following birth include visual acuity, tracking, color perception, depth perception, and object recognition.
Many babies are born with blue eyes, and then their eyes change color as their genes continue to develop. Hair color is the same way, sometimes, babies are born with very light colored hair that ...
The Martin scale is an older version of color scale commonly used in physical anthropology to establish more or less precisely the eye color of an individual. It was created by the anthropologist Rudolf Martin in the first half of the 20th century.
Your eye color is determined by the amount and distribution of melanin in the iris of the eye. And of course, the genes we inherit from our parents play a significant role in determining our eye ...
Eye color, specifically the color of the irises, is determined primarily by the concentration and distribution of melanin. Although the processes determining eye color are not fully understood, it is known that inherited eye color is determined by multiple genes. Environmental or acquired factors can alter these inherited traits. [7]
Quiana and Luna at 1 month old. My husband is white and I am Black. When we learned we were having a daughter, we quickly set goals for how we would raise her: She should be strong and happy.
Because individuals with albinism have skin that entirely lacks the dark pigment melanin, which helps protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet radiation, their skin can burn more easily from overexposure. [8] The human eye normally produces enough pigment to color the iris blue, green or brown and lend
