1. What is the Baby Eye Color Predictor?

The Baby Eye Color Predictor calculates the probability of a baby having certain eye colors based on parental genetics. It uses basic probability principles to estimate outcomes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the probability formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Probability (dimensionless)
• \( F \) — Favorable outcomes (dimensionless)
• \( T \) — Total possible outcomes (dimensionless)

Explanation: The equation calculates the simple probability of an event occurring by dividing favorable outcomes by total possible outcomes.

3. Importance of Eye Color Probability

Details: Understanding eye color probability helps expectant parents predict possible traits their child might inherit based on genetic combinations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of favorable genetic combinations for a particular eye color and the total possible genetic combinations. Both values must be positive integers with favorable ≤ total.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this predictor?
A: This provides basic probability based on simplified genetic models. Actual eye color inheritance is more complex.

Q2: What are typical values for F and T?
A: For simple eye color models, T is often 4 (basic Punnett square) or 16 (two-trait Punnett square).

Q3: Can this predict exact eye color?
A: No, it only provides probability estimates based on the input parameters.

Q4: What about mixed eye colors?
A: The calculator treats each distinct color as a separate outcome. Mixed colors would need their own category.

Q5: Does this account for genetic mutations?
A: No, this calculator uses standard Mendelian inheritance patterns without considering mutations.
