An associate professor of genetics at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Tabriz University stated: Each individual typically receives one copy of each gene located on the non-sex chromosomes from the father and one from the mother. Therefore, the eye color of a child is the result of the combination and interaction of the gene versions inherited from both parents, and it cannot be generally said that the genes of the father or mother play a more significant role in determining this trait.
