To restate this principle using the example above, all alleles assort in the same manner whether they code for body color alone, eye color alone, or both body color and eye color in the same cross.

Although eye color is usually modeled as a simple, Mendelian trait, further research and observation has indicated that eye color does not follow the classical paths of inheritance.

Medically reviewed by Bryan M. Wolynski, OD Eye color is a complex genetic trait determined by pairings of genes passed on from each parent. Scientists once believed eye color was determined by a ...

Allele referred to an alternative form of a gene that affects its host’s inherited characteristics, such as hair and eye color. Alleles are also associated with genetic disorders, including ...

Figure 1: Inheritance chart detailing how an individual may inherit blue or brown eyes depending on the alleles carried by their parents, with the brown eye color allele being dominant and the blue ...

The brown eye color allele is dominant over the blue eye allele. You can have brown eyes whether you’re homozygous (two alleles for brown eyes) or heterozygous (one for brown and one for blue).
