I'd been asking a question before about a possible recessive gene.. (green eyes) Which caused me to make some calls to my grandma and my mom, now I can't help wondering...did my mom cheat? (my dad was an asshole & abusive after all)
This is why I'm wondering:
(brother) Dk brown hair, HAZEL eyes
(brother) Dk brown hair, brown eyes (born the yr right after oldest)
(me) Dk brown hair, HAZEL eyes (green in them) (born at least 5 yrs after prev. sibling)
(sister) Dk brown hair, brown eyes (born 3 yrs after prev. sibling)
"Dad": Red hair, blue eyes (1/4 Scottish, 3/4 Irish)
Mom: Dk brown hair, brown eyes (Mexican)
(Mom's side)
Grandpa: Black hair, brown eyes (Mexican)
Grandma: Dk brown hair, brown eyes (Mexican)
*Says no one has had green eyes in family.
(Dad's side)
Grandpa: Red hair, blue eyes (Scottish/Irish)
Grandma: Brown hair, blue eyes (Irish)
*Says no one has had green eyes in family.
At the time I was born, my parents, well, my dad was on reserve in Italy, where I was born. Is it possible my real father could be Italian? Do they have a tendency to have more green or hazel eyes? Either way, I wanna know, how the hell I could have a gene for eye color that hasn't shown up at all besides in my oldest brother and I?

Sometimes the dominant gene (in this case your family's 'hazel eyes') gets shrunk down and beaten by an old old recessive gene (green eyes).
Someone in your family WILL have green eyes, they might have even passed away by now.
When you were created your mum and dad's hazel eye gene, will have bonded into a molecule, but an old gene that has been passed down throughout many years, overpowered the hazel gene. Therefore creating your luscious green eyes!
