How can eye color be inherited?

eye color isn't only inherited from your parents eye color. they could have recessive blue eye genes and have dominant brown eye alleles, therefore there is a chance you get blue eyes though both of your parents have brown. there is a fairly low chance, but it is still possible. let's say your mom has blue eyes and your dad has brown eyes, there is more of a chance that you get brown eyes, whereas if your dad also had blue eyes, you would have a 50% chance to get blue eyes since blue eyes are recessive. hopefully this helped ♡
