Detailed explanation-1: -Although there are about 16 different genes responsible for eye color, it is mostly attributed to two adjacent genes on chromosome 15, hect domain and RCC1-like domain-containing protein 2 (HERC2) and ocular albinism (that is, oculocutaneous albinism II (OCA2)).
Detailed explanation-2: -An international research effort called the Human Genome Project, which worked to determine the sequence of the human genome and identify the genes that it contains, estimated that humans have between 20, 000 and 25, 000 genes. Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent.
Detailed explanation-3: -A two trait cross between a heterozygous and a homozygous individual generates four phenotypes, each of which are equally likely to occur.
