Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Some traits, such as eye color, are determined mostly, or entirely, by genes. These kinds of traits are said to be due to nature. Most traits, however, develop through a combination of nature (your genes) and nurture (everything in your life-things like where you grew up, the people you know, and the foods you eat).
Detailed explanation-3: -Your children inherit their eye colors from you and your partner. It’s a combination of mom and dad’s eye colors – generally, the color is determined by this mix and whether the genes are dominant or recessive. Every child carries two copies of every gene – one comes from mom, and the other comes from dad.
