Probabilities vary depending on whether the model assumes **heterozygous** (more diverse gene variants) or **homogenous** (less diverse) inheritance. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two blue-eyed parents (heterozygous) have a 99% chance of a blue-eyed baby.<\/li>\n<li>A brown-eyed and blue-eyed pair (heterozygous) have a 50% chance for either color.<\/li>\n<li>In homogenous inheritance, brown eye genes dominate\u2014almost always resulting in brown-eyed offspring if one parent has brown eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\r\n<\/section><br \/>\nEye color is determined by multiple genes, but simplified inheritance models can predict likely outcomes using basic genetic rules. This calculator assumes two types of models:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heterozygous<\/strong>: Each parent carries different gene variations, leading to more diverse outcomes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Homogenous<\/strong>: Each parent carries two identical gene copies, often resulting in dominant traits (like brown eyes) prevailing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This tool is useful for expecting parents curious about their baby\u2019s appearance and interested in learning more about inherited traits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wondering what color eyes your baby might have?
