ELI5: Could a new eye color come bout?
gpt
Yes, but no. While DNA usually doesnt mutate as much as, say, RNA, There is a *tiny* chance the genes that controls eye color could mutate, resulting in a new eye color. for example, blue eyes are a genetic mutation, and while it doesnt have any effect on us or give us an adaption we could use to defend ourselves, it still exists. So while the gene controlling eye color COULD mutate to form a new eye color, the spreading of the gene is the hard part. If the gene is recessive, you would have to find someone else that has the recessive eye color gene. If the gene was dominant, there would still be a chance that the dominant eye color would NOT get passed down, making it incredibly hard to pass the gene along when it first comes about.
