I Can See You

Did you know that eye color is hereditary? What color your eyes are could have been determined before you were even born or even before your parents knew they were going to have you. All you have to do is take the colors of the parents eyes and you will be able to determine what color a child's eyes could be. Although there are chances that a child could have different eye colors. If one parent has brown eyes and one parent has blue eyes there is a chance that a child could have either brown or blue eyes or even an eye of each color, but that is very rare. We will discover how to determine the chances and what the probability is that a child will have a certain eye color.
