  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.

  3. 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]

    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 ...

    The color of the melanin in the eyes is determined by three other genes, EYCL1, 2 and 3. Together, they account for brown, green and blue, but not hazel or grey eyes. Science is still working on ...

  6. Phenotypic trait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotypic_trait

    Eye color is an example of a (physical) phenotypic trait. A phenotypic trait, [1] [2] simply trait, or character state [3] [4] is a distinct variant of a phenotypic characteristic of an organism; it may be either inherited or determined environmentally, but typically occurs as a combination of the two. [5]

    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 ...

  8. Champagne gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne_gene

    Champagne is a dominant trait, based on a mutation in the SLC36A1 gene. [1] A horse with either one or two champagne genes will show the effects of the gene equally. However, if a horse is homozygous for a dominant gene, it will always pass the gene on to all of its offspring, while if the horse is heterozygous for the gene, the offspring will not always inherit the color.

  9. Cream gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_gene

    Formerly referred to as "ivory champagne." The champagne traits remain in the skin and eyes, and the coat is an all-over ivory color. Sable cream or brown buckskin champagne: brown-based coat with one cream allele and at least one champagne allele. The coat color falls between amber and classic cream.
