Eye colors are passed down through generations, but sometimes genetic variations can lead to surprising results in eye colors (dark eye color, still rocks!?) Some examples are found below.  Is there truth behind the following? Provide explanations for your answer.  Two parents with blue eyes cannot have a brown-eyed child and vice-versa. Eyes with more than one color stems from parents with two different eye colors. People with violet eyes are mutants.   People with red or pinkish eye color can have dark-eyed parents

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
