My dad is also blue. My Brown -eye, brown hair sister had a blonde-blue daughter with a light-brown blue husband. So I might be a carrier as well
Pretty sure brown eyed people are sterile or produce sterile offspring when they breed with humans. Sort of like donkeys and horses or leopards and lions.
Why, Green Nation, don't trash talk so many of our members!
Yeah I heard that too
@Logan Varg-ite confirmed

You are a carrier, because your dad has two recessive genes to have the blue eyes.
So you inherited one of his recessive genes.
I've been cucked by the genetic lottery
And your mother's dominant brown.
@Selma Is it really as simple as Puntnett squares though
?
So my kids will have brown eyes if I have kids with gf
It isn't that simple, no.
It's more complex.
No it isn't
I'm telling Gregor Mandel
Let nemets explain.
He's so smart.
I was in AP science tooo....
<:sad:366743316475281408> So what you're saying is my kids won't be let in to the white people preserve so I should give up.
(kidding)
My brother is hilarious. Whenever I've gone on a date with a guy, he chastises me if the guy has brown eyes.
Saying that's like throwing my blue eyes into the trash.
@Valaska they tore down the posters so we are finished. Guess we can't recruit unless they foolishly publish an artic-- oh snap
It really is

Can I get a quick rundown?
I've played the Sims 2, Nemets; I know how it works.
@Trashboat @Nemets if he has light brown eyes and he marries a grey eyed girl (least melanin) is he more likely to get blue or hazel eyes in a child?
nvm it's actually short
Just tell me if my kids will be white or not sir
i love how 6 people are in VC just chillin saying nothing

@Trashboat When they purge us brown-eyed whites maybe we can go live in Duginist Hapastan...
On the surface, this sounds like the dominant/recessive eye color model that has been taught in biology classes for decades. However, while about three-fourths of eye color variation can be explained by genetic changes in and around this gene, OCA2 is not the only influence on color. A recent study that compared eye color to OCA2 status showed that 62 percent of individuals with two copies of the blue-eyed OCA2 allele, as well as 7.5 percent of the individuals who had the brown-eyed OCA2 alleles, had blue eyes. A number of other genes (such as TYRP1, ASIP and ALC42A5) also function in the melanin pathway and shift the total amount of melanin present in the iris. The combined efforts of these genes may boost melanin levels to produce hazel or brown eyes, or reduce total melanin resulting in blue eyes. This explains how two parents with blue eyes can have green- or brown-eyed children (an impossible situation under the Davenport single gene model) – the combination of color alleles received by the child resulted in a greater amount of melanin than either parent individually possessed.

Sorry, but that part is the interesting part.
text wall incoming
TL;DR we're all white
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Sounds pretty rad, as long as I get a cool horse
