Detailed explanation-1: -The different variants of genes are referred to as alleles. The gey gene has one allele that gives rise to green eyes and one allele that gives rise to blue eyes. The bey2 gene has one allele for brown eyes and one for blue eyes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heterochromia is when a person has differently colored eyes or eyes that have more than one color. Most of the time, it doesn’t cause any problems. It’s often just a quirk caused by genes passed down from your parents or by something that happened when your eyes were forming.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eye color is determined by variations in a person’s genes. Most of the genes associated with eye color are involved in the production, transport, or storage of a pigment called melanin. Eye color is directly related to the amount of melanin in the front layers of the iris.

Detailed explanation-4: -Heterochromia is the presence of different colored eyes in the same person. Heterochromia in humans appears either as a hereditary trait unassociated with other disease, as a symptom of various syndromes or as the result of a trauma.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the most elementary form, the inheritance of eye color is classified as a Mendelian trait. On the basis of the observation of more than two phenotypes, eye color has a more complex pattern of inheritance. Eye color ranges include varying shades of brown, hazel, green, blue, gray, and in rare cases, violet and red.
