I'm Claire O'Callaghan and this is my blog about eyes. I think eyes are fascinating because of their beauty, variety and the way that they translate light waves into a language for our brain that allows us to see!

This means that multiple genes on the human genome code for one phenotypic trait- the color of your eyes.
What color are your eyes? Are your parents' eyes the same color as yours, or did you inherit an unexpected eye color? Or maybe your eyes are a combination of lots of different colors, like this picture:
