Standard 2c: Random chromosome segregation explains the probability that a particular allele will be in a gamete. Standard 2d: New combinations of alleles may be generated in a zygote through the fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization). Standard 2e: Students know why approximately half of an individual's DNA sequence comes from each parent. Standard 2g: Students know how to predict possible combinations of alleles in a zygote from the genetic makeup of the parents.

And more... about human eye color - here's a chart with the cumulative amount of dominant alleles, and the colors that result. http://www.genetree.com/about/eye-color-chart.asp
So, how come people might have different colors between their two eyes? Here's an expert's response - which is basically: "I don't know yet.." http://www.seps.org/oracle/oracle.archive/Unknown/2000.11/000973673159.21163.html
