A member asked:
I have green eyes but no one in my family has green eyes, not even my parents. how is that possible? was there a mutation in my genes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is a gene for green eyes in your family. It is recessive which means that several generations may not have the green eyes and then it will show up in a family member. If you are able to, check back in your family history for green eyes..
