what color will her eyes be?


Shawn and I were discussing what color we thought her eyes would be and we broke out our biology skills with a punnett square I have hazel eyes and Shawn has blue eyes so she has 50% chance of having blue eyes and 50% chance of having green eyes, no brown eyes for her. Then we went to the internet and we were right! Here is a grid I found.
Other fun facts about eye color...
> You probably knew that brown is the most common eye color worldwide, but did you know that green is by far the rarest? In fact, less than 2 percent of the global population possesses green eyes.
> As a country, Turkey has the highest percentage of citizens who have green eyes, at 20 percent.
> There are a number of countries – generally located in Asia, South America, and the Middle East – where green eyes are almost completely absent among the population.
> Did you know that blue eyes are the most common eye color for Caucasians, over amber, hazel, grey, and green? In fact, over 80 percent of the population of Iceland has either blue or green eyes.

  1. Wow! That's more information about eyes than I ever knew before. You know I must admit I didn't look at people's eyes enough while in Iceland to see if that were true. I'll keep that in mind next time I'm over there. ;)
