It is just like people and their genes. My husband and I have hazel/blue eyes with dark hair (very dark brown almost black) LOL have to think back since I have been coloring my hair. But my daughter has blond hair (naturally) and hazel/blue eyes. My son has the dark hair and brown eyes. So where did my daughter get blond hair and my son brown eyes? Blond came from my aunt on my father's side and brown eyes came from my grandmother on my father's side. Now get this - my aunt is the only one within 4 generations, beside my daughter with blond hair - both sides. Now I tan easily (due to my great grandmother being Cherokee), but my husband is fair with freckles. Result: my daughter with blond hair easily tans never burns and my dark haired son is fair complexed with some freckles. Crazy - you would not think this would happen. Cher's Quote: In genetics we also play with plus and minus modifiers as well as a host of other things, so everything is not always simple recessives.
