Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inherited, as related to genetics, refers to a trait or variants encoded in DNA and passed from parent to offspring during reproduction.
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.
