Are mother or father's eye colour genes more likely to appear in their children?

Question

For my science project hypothesis... Is their any proof that one sex's eye colour is more likely to appear on their children?

Ocular albinism (OA 1) is an X-linked recessive, OA/Nettleshop-Falls type, located at X p22.3-22.2. OA is characterized by changes in the optic system only with no clinical difference in skin and hair color.

"Ocular albinism affects only the eyes. There are two types, One is X-Linked and the other is a Recessive Gene. Nonetheless, skin color can be slightly lighter than those of the rest of the family, or "normal". The eye color can vary greatly, in which case only examination of the retina can reveal OA1."

Answer 2

Eye colour depends on a gene. Brown eyes are coded by a dominant gene, where as blue eyes are coded by a recessive gene.

Answer 3

gender doesn't matter with hereditary genes. it's just dominant and recessive genes. brown is most dominant, the blue and green and other colors are recessive. if you do this box chart by mendel's law, you figure out the ratio between dominant and recessive colors to get the chance percentage of what the offspring will have.
if you have brown eyes (Bb) and your spouse has blue(bb) your child will have a 50% chance of having brown or blue eyes. look up mendel's law.

Answer 4

Well, eye color is controlled by many traits. So it really depends..
