Eye color - Dilema. -

[Aleksander]

I have light brown eyes - I want to know what were my chances to have blue or green eyes in % - In my father side there's virtually nobody with dark eyes. - In my mother side there are 2 cases - her uncle (mother side) and grandfather (father side) - I put up a detailed list. and I have 4 additional question .. Sorry for having so many questions ..but it's very difficult to find answers on the web..especially when it's in more details

 

1.) If my mother have a brother with blue eyes and a sister with light green eyes - is she automatically a carrier of the recessive gene for light eyes ?? or there are chances she could not ?

 

2.) If my father has blue eyes and my grandfather as well - that means he is 100% carrier of the recessive gene of producing light eyes ?

 

3.) What about me am I a carrier now 100%? or there are chances I am not ?? pls explain

 

4.) My mother and grandmother have a very unusual eye color - it's literally darkish yellow golden eyes, it's definitely not light brown -.. Where does that come from ? is it recessive ?

 

 

 

Me - Light Brown - my other brother - Green

 

Mother - Amber eye // Father - Blue eyes

 

Maternal Grandfather - Green eyes // Paternal Grandfather - Blue eyes

 

Maternal Grandmother - Amber eyes // Paternal Grandmother - Green eyes

 

Uncle - Blue eyes // Aunt(1) - Green eyes

 

Aunt - Green eyes // Aunt(2) - Green eyes

 

Maternal Great Grandfather - Green eyes // Aunt(3) - Green eyes

 

Maternal Great Grandmother - Green eyes // Paternal Great Grandfather - Blue eyes

 

Mother's uncle(1) - Blue eyes // Paternal Great Grandmother - Green eyes

 

Mother's uncle(2) - Brown eyes Father Uncle(1) - Blue eyes

 

Paternal Great Grandfather - Brown eyes // Father Uncle(2) - Blue eyes

 

Paternal Great Grandmother- Green eyes // Father aunt(1) - Blue eyes

 

Father aunt(2) - Green eyes

Father aunt(3) - Green eyes

you seem to have all the data you need, you can try to enter it into a Punnett square and see what happens

 

if you still cant figure it out...........the browneyed milkman is your father,

just joking

At least you are the only person who has a unique eye color in your entire family with "light brown". If you want to talk genes though I would assume "amber" is considered brown there lies part of your answer no?.
