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. 

Standard 3a: Students know how to predict the probable outcome of phenotypes 
in a genetic cross from the genotypes of the parents and mode of inheritance 
(autosomal or X-linked, dominant or recessive).

Standard 3b: Students know the genetic basis for Mendel's laws of 
segregation and independent assortment. 

*Standard 3c: Students know how to predict the probable mode of inheritance 
from a pedigree diagram showing phenotypes.

simple drawing of a trait that is controleld by many genes

And more... about human eye color - here's a chart with the cumulative 
amount of dominant alleles, and the colors that result.

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.."
