I don't think the tagging works at the moment due to the issue with OS bugs right now.

Answer 5

Answer 7

...

Answer 8

Anyways, there are specific genes in our chromosome bodies, or locus which code for eye colour.
There is really no more that a student who is not PhD or Doctorate level can answer this more spefically. Gene coding for a specific trait is more complex than simple di, tri gene crossing on a punnette square.

Answer 9

ok.

Answer 10

so DNA has pigments... right?

Answer 11

Chromosomes are basically DNA tightly wrapped around in coils with wrap around proteins called histones.

Answer 12

DNA determines eye color like this method.. Brown eyes are almost always dominant, Hazel is usually included in with brown. Hazel is less dominant than brown but more dominant than blue and green. Blue eyes are next in dominance, green eyes are last in dominance. You get two alleles that judge which color eyes you will get. For example, if you have brown eyes, you could have.. brown/brown, brown/blue, brown/green, because brown is dominant. You get one allele from each parent. If your parent has brown eyes, they could have one brown allele and either one green or one blue allele. They could give you any of the three. If your parent has blue eyes, they have either two blue alleles or one blue and one green. They only give you one allele. If your parent has green eyes, they have green alleles. they will only give you one green allele. So, Even if you and your mate have brown eyes, you could still have a blue-eyed child!

Answer 13

Yes, he IS right that brown color is dominant, but that doesn't explain how DNA expresses eye color.

Answer 14

Sorry, tried my best hah'.
