It occurs in humans and certain breeds of domesticated animals. Heterochromia of the eye is called heterochromia iridum or heterochromia iridis. It can be complete, sectoral, or central. In complete heterochromia, one iris is a different color from the other. In sectoral heterochromia, part of one iris is a different color from its remainder.
A rare predominantly black cat with odd eyes. The odd-eyed colouring is caused when either the epistatic (recessive) white gene or dominant white (which masks any other colour genes and turns a cat completely solid white) [3] or the white spotting gene (which is the gene responsible for bicolour coats) [4] prevents melanin granules from reaching one eye during development, resulting in a cat ...
While it is not uncommon for tricolor cats to have a split face like this, and many things can cause heterochromia (two different eye colors) in cats, the real clue that this cat is a chimera is ...
There is evidence that as many as 16 different genes could be responsible for eye color in humans; however, the main two genes associated with eye color variation are OCA2 and HERC2, and both are localized in chromosome 15. [10] The gene OCA2 (OMIM: 203200), when in a variant form, causes the pink eye color and hypopigmentation common in human ...
Human eyes have three types of cones: red-sensing, green-sensing and blue-sensing. Feline eyes also contain the same color-sensing cones as humans , but this doesn't mean our visions are the same ...
Two-toned cats aren't really all that strange to see, but what about a two-toned cat with two different eye colors and a face that looks like two cats were combined into one? Meet Venus the cat.
An animal chimera is a single organism that is composed of two or more different populations of genetically distinct cells that originated from different zygotes involved in sexual reproduction. If the different cells have emerged from the same zygote, the organism is called a mosaic. Innate chimeras are formed from at least four parent cells ...
Akasha the Sphynx cat has heterochromia, a condition which means her eyes are two different colors.
