Is it possible for a korean to have hazel/green eyes (or any other color besides brown)?

Question

dont all koreans have brown eyes? like dont all our ancestor have brown eyes? that's wat i thought... so... wouldnt koreans only reproduce brown-eyed babies? and that would make it genetically impossible to reproduce a different colored eye baby? but there's this one korean celebrity (go ara) who has hazel/green eye and she says that they're her real eye color. i've also heard of a few koreans with green eyes and a japanese with blue eyes. is this possible?

Answer 1

yes, it is very possible.  

Answer 2

Yeah, I think so..

Answer 3

Well,

The typical asian phenotype does not really include blue or green eyes. However, such asians may have some kind of european ancestry in them. Perhaps, such asians have eastern european ancestors, or whatnot.

Remember that no race on earth is pure, and that there always is some degree of mixing, as shown by linkage disequilibrium (genetic) maps.

Answer 4

people of  any heritage may  have blue  eyes, red hair- that comes from fromes genes way back.  my grandparents had black children, with curly tite locks- with other children with curly strait locks.    .   any thing is posssible in this worl;d of genes having fun with us .  what about a black child with beautiful head of blond hair.  it does happen between two black couples.

Answer 5

All Koreans and Asians in general should have dark-colored eyes. Hazel... well hazel is just a fancy way of saying "brown with other shades mixed in." Yeah, and on top of the ancestors having brown eyes (but that's individual to the person's family, maybe someone with a different color exists in the family tree), dark colors are dominant... lighter colors like blue are recessive. This means that if one parent has brown eyes and the other blue eyes, the kid only has a 1/4 chance of getting blue eyes. Even more reason for all the Korean babies to have brown eyes.

Celebrities can say what they want, and who's gonna search them? If they are real, then she probably had ancestors with non-brown eyes that contributed to it, unless we're sure she's PURE Korean. In that case, that's just weird. Sometimes, there are mutations and people can get some pretty strange pigments in, but I wouldn't count on that happening too often.

Answer 6

Yes, it is. Race is irrelevant. If the eye color gene is dominant then that person will have that specific eye color.
