Eye color
So, I have been told that my eyes are not really blue, but are grey and turquoise, but they look blue to me, and isn't that what matters?
My children have blue eyes, sure mine aren't as awesomely icy blue as others in my family, but they are infact blue for the last time. i won't defend it anymore.
Eye color is poly genetic, so a bit comes from each parent and it combines to determine the result, like height, so it is not a matter of one parent's genes being expressed and another's not. for instance, my mother had what appeared brown eyes, but I ended up with blue. I think I got the grey from her and the turquoise from dad, who comes from a line of very fine eyes, if ever a man had such things, my ancestors did.
I learned so much researchng because of one false thing I was off-handedly taught in elementary school. It just didn't make sense, I HAD to be adopted there was no explanation for my O- blood type. Most of my children have negaticve blood because Brandall was O- as well. Nick was A+ I think, but somehow our son ended up
-. I think Mary is +. See how that could confuse you if you honestlt believed heredity was recessive or dominant? I could not have blue eyes or 0- blood because my mother ad o+ and it said that dad had o+ ob his dog tags, but really he had AB- I thnk.
