Eye color, how will this work?!
Question: Eye color, how will this work!?
I find myself very fascinated with eye color and genetics and have an interesting question!. My fiance and I just had a baby, and right now she's a month old with darker blue/turqoise colored eyes!. My fiance has light blue eyes, and I have amber/brown!. Both my fiance's parents have blue eyes, and my parents have hazel and green!. Prior to that, everyone had blue eyes in my family!. Our baby's eye color has actually lightened a bit since she was born!. What is the likely eye color to be, I'm told yes brown is dominant but my eyes are not a typical brown, but the very light brown/green combination of amber!?
Also how dominant is hazel on the eye-color spectrum!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eye color genetics is not as simple as once thought!. It's not actually recessive vs!. dominant since there is more than one gene that creates eye color!. Hazel and gray eye color is still not genetically explained!.
My bf has hazel eyes - his Polish mom has light blue eyes (both her parents do too) and his Italian dad has dark brown/almost black eyes (both his parents had dark eyes!.
My friend is half japanese/half irish - she has hazel eyes!.
My friend who is 100% Asian married a white guy with blue eyes!. They have one child who has blue eyes (age 5) and one with hazel eyes (age 3)!.

Eye colour is determined by at least three genes and their interactions, the genes determine how much, if any pigment is present in each of three layers of the iris!. So brown/hazel eyes aren't really "dominant", its just that they have genes that cause at some pigment in each layer whereas blue eyes have genes that don't put pigment in at least two layers!. The colour, whether green, hazel, brown or dark brown is determined by the density of the pigment, lack of pigment results in blue!.
A blue eyed parent and a hazel eyed parent (brown/green combo is hazel) can have children with green, hazel, or light brown eyes!.
Your baby's permanent eye colour will be established by her first birthday!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

with blue eyes being resessive you would both have to pass the blue eye gene on!. the lightness and darkness of the eye color doesn't generally matter!. the things my mother didn't pass on to me she has wished upon me when she gets angry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
