Colour of eyes is an_ trait
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 4 years, 5 months ago

Eye color was traditionally described as a single gene trait, with brown eyes being dominant over blue eyes. Today, scientists have discovered that at least eight genes influence the final color of eyes. The genes control the amount of melanin inside specialized cells of the iris. It was originally thought that eye color was a simple Mendelian trait, meaning it was determined by a single gene, with brown being dominant and blue recessive. It is now clear that eye color is a polygenic trait, meaning it is determined by multiple genes. Hence, colour of eyes is an inherited trait.
