  2. Eye color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color

    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 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.

    When it comes to eye color, the melanin controlled by the OCA2 gene is diluted and thus we all have blue eyes. For those with that blue-eye gene mutation they eyes stay blue.

    And of course, the genes we inherit from our parents play a significant role in determining our eye color. There are two main types of melanin that contribute to eye color: eumelanin and pheomelanin.

  8. Heterochromia iridum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum

    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]

    The reason boils down to genes. A senior lecturer in biomolecular sciences at Liverpool John Moores University said, "What we know now is that eye color is based on 12 to 13 individual variations ...
