Sharon has green eyes. her mother has brown eyes, and her dad has blue eyes. which two statements best explain eye color in sharon’s family? 1.eye color is controlled by many genes. 2.eye color is inherited from only one parent. 3.eye color is controlled by only one pair of genes. 4.eye color is not an inherited trait. 5.eye color has a polygenic inheritance pattern.

The correct answer is options 1 and 5, that is, eye color is controlled by many genes, and has a polygenic inheritance pattern.

Eye color refers to a polygenic phenotypic feature predicted by two different elements, that is, the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris, and the pigmentation of the eye's iris.  

In humans, the iris pigmentation differs from light brown to black, based on the amount of melanin in the iris pigment epithelium, the cellular density of the stroma, and the melanin concentration within the iris stroma.  

Eye color is an inherited trait affected by more than one gene. It has a polygenic inheritance pattern as the color of the eyes in humans is monitored by two or more genes.
