My grandfather was full Chinese blue eyes?

I am pure Chinese and I visit my family in Beijing and I recently discovered my grandfather has blue eyes. As the student is black, but the iris is blue sky. It is not blind, but he is 75. He lived China throughout his life and has Chinese ancestry. Can someone give me an explanation on why it professionals those eyes?

Your Chinese grandfather and his ancestors are full of Chinese origin. But his parents have made a recessive genes that have eyes blue. However, the expression of genes in the brown eyes are dominant over the expression of genes for blue eyes. There must be a means by which it was probably a mixture of your ancestors. Perhaps the parents of your grandfather, or their parents brought this recessive trait. It is likely that the brothers and sisters of your grandfather probably had brown eyes. But when your grandfather was a zygote, mitosis was happening and differentiation has occurred. He received the blue line-genes of his parents, even if her parents had brown eyes. A recessive trait is a trait or characteristic that is hidden or not represented or given the expression of a particular organism. But even if your grandfather has blue eyes, it does not necessarily mean that his children would blue eyes. It depends on genes and what expressions they give to ………… I hope that helped!
