Me 2...
*ahem*... my wife has beautiful blue eyes! I have brown eyes.... I think our children may have brown eyes.... I haven't done the Punnett Square to determine phenotype or genotype... mostly because I am not all that interested... =^)
Yes. Dominance and recessiveness works. I had a redheaded father and a brown-haired mother. I got the brown hair then I married a redhead. Two of four of our children had red hair. Conclusion: I carried the recessive redhair gene I got from dad; wife carried two recessive red-haired gene. Odds of children having red hair: 50-50.
I was told that classic Irish look: freckles, brown hair, blue eyes (all me as a kid) means you carry a red hair gene.
Hey now! I'm stuck here at work!! That sort of thing is frowned upon here.
HAHAHAHAHAH your post is hysterical.
Without going beyond post #1 on this thread I can say, 'Here comes the science!' To which I reply, 'two personal anecdotes do not data make.'
Good people should be armed where they will, with wits and guns.
BTTT
A girl at my high school had tan eyes... light tan. Freaked me out.
Aha...you've just identified yet another benefit of working from home. I knew there were some I hadn't yet thought of!
That is unusual. Another possible color is gray, hardly seen outside Western novels.
Blue eyed parents have about a 25 percent chance of having a brown-eyed baby.
Mix in variations like hazel and gray, and the numbers go way up.
Eye color is not a simple single-gene dominant/recessive trait.
Hope nobody decides to shoot their wife for cheating on this account . . .
Why do you think so many blue-eyed men prefer blue-eyed women? Easy to remember it. 8)
Thanks PB for the ping. However, I agree with this:

My blue eyed husband married a brown eyed blonde. We have 2 blue eyed kids and one with brown eyes.
What about all of us with green eyes?
I've seen yellow irises, and the weird part was that the pupils were at the top, making the irises sort of crescent moon shaped. That was circa 1982.
LMAO, CGEB was a man!

I've only seen one pic of CGEB, and he/she looked pretty hot to me. LOL.
