Why docs Lisa have blue eyes?
Their parents both have an allele for blue eyes, but it is not expressed.
G Blue eye color is a trait that is expressed in every other generation.
Eye color is not a hereditary trait, so Lisa and her sister did not inherit their eye color from their parents.
The grandparent's genes for eye color are not influencing Lisa and her sister's genes for eye color.
