Question: How would this punnett square work!?
i have light brown eyes(that look kinda orangish sometimes)!. my mom has blue eyes and my dad has green!. my moms parents both had blue eyes, and my dads mom had blue eyes, his dad had very dark brown eyes, and all his siblings had either blue or green!. ive looked as far back as i can and there is no history of my eye color in my family!. is it possible for me to make punnett squares in this situation!? also, im not adopted!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try re-posting this question in the biology section as biology relates to genetics!. They can help you better!. You asked this in the genealogy section, which is NOT the same thing as genetics!. To put it in simple terms, genetics is a science!. Genealogy is history!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Punnett squares are an overly simplified way of explaining dominant-recessive genes!.They are helpful when you are talking about a trait that is controlled by only one gene!. Eye color in humans, however, is affected by more than one gene, as well as by mutations!. The fact that you have light brown or amber eyes while most of your family does not means nothing!.
