Why Do Children Have Different Eye Colors? - Genetic Wellness for Families

Why Do Children Have Different Eye Colors? Have you ever wondered why children in the same family can have different eye colors? In this engaging video, we explain the science behind eye color inheritance and what makes each child's eyes unique. We'll start by discussing the role of pigments like melanin and how they influence eye shades from blue to brown. You'll learn about the complex process of polygenic inheritance, where multiple genes work together to determine eye color, making predictions more challenging than once thought. We'll explore how dominant and recessive genes interact, and why siblings—even twins—can have different eye colors despite sharing the same parents. Additionally, we’ll highlight the importance of specific genes, such as OCA2, and how they impact eye shades like green, hazel, and gray. Whether you're curious about genetics or considering family genetic testing, this video provides a clear explanation of how inherited traits shape our appearance. Understanding these principles can help you appreciate the diversity within families and the fascinating way genetics influence who we are.
