If father and mother both have blue eyes is it possible to have a baby with brown eyes?

There is a chance the baby will have blue eyes but only 1:3 chance.
You carry 2 blue eye genes.
If he carry's 2 brown genes then all your baby's will have brown eyes.
But, if he carry's 1 brown gene and 1 blue gene then the chances of blue:brown eyes are 1:3.
Hope this helps :)

∙ 16y agoMore than likely blue at first then changing to a brown or browny-blue. Most babies start off with blue eyes, but blue is a recessive however brown is a dominent gene.
A baby's eyes are first blue because they have not developed fully yet. they then change color or stay the same after three months. it is more likely that the baby would have brown eyes. it also depends on your parents eyes and his parents eyes. if most of them have brow. the baby would most likely have brown eyes.

∙ 9y agoYes, your child will most likely inherent the allele that causes blue eyes from both parents, thus causing blue eyes to be evident.
Second Answer: most likely your child will have blue eyes, considering both half of there genes are blue eyes. Although not always will your child have blue eyes. There may be a family member down the line, maybe of many ancestors that will dominate the eye's color. My aunt and uncle both have brown eyes. They had four children. Three of the children had brown eyes while the last child had bright blue eyes because it was passed down from many generations. But most likely your child will have blue eyes.
Third answer: Yes, your child will almost certainly have blue eyes. A quick lesson in genetics: for every possible trait, you have two different versions of a gene, called alleles. One copy of the gene is from your mother, the other is from your father. One version of a gene (again, called an allele) is dominant, one is recessive. If you have a dominant allele passed on to you, that trait will always show up, even if the other allele is recessive. You need two copies of the recessive allele in order for that trait to show up. Here are some examples of dominant and recessive traits (keep in mind some traits are controlled by multiple genes, and sometimes rather than getting one trait you get a mix - such as a dark-skinned person and a light-skinned person having a baby with medium-skin, but this is a basic breakdown).
Hair color:
brown and black: dominant
blonde and red: recessive
Eye color:
brown: dominant
blue and green: recessive
Hair type:
straight: dominant
curly: recessive
Now, since blue eyes are a recessive gene, it means that the mother has two "blue eyed genes" and the father has two "blue eyed genes" (technically they're alleles, I'm just simplifying the terms). Thus, the baby can only inherit blue eyed genes. The only chance of them having brown eyes is if a freak mutation occurs, which is incredibly incredibly unlikely. Incidentally, it's perfectly possible for two brown eyed people to have a blue eyed baby, because the gene for brown eyes is dominant, meaning both parents could have one brown eyed gene and one blue eyed gene, so the baby would have a one in four chance of having blue eyes.
As an example of that, let's say that brown eyes is shortened to a capital B, and blue eyes is a lower case b. You get one gene from each parent, thus you've got four possible combinations if both parents have brown eyes, but have one blue eyed gene and one brown eyed gene each. You could have: BB (two brown eyed genes), Bb (one blue eyes gene, one brown eyed gene), bB (one blue eyes gene and one brown eyes gene), and bb (two blue eyed genes.)
Let's say:
1) baby gets one B brown-eyed gene from dad, and one blue-eyed gene b from mom. Their genes would be Bb. Since brown eyes are dominant, the baby will have brown eyes.
2) baby gets one b blue-eyed gene from dad, and one brown-eyed gene B from mom. Again, the baby's gene is bB (or rather Bb), and it will have brown eyes.
3) baby gets one B brown-eyed gene from dad, and one brown-eyed gene B from mom. The baby's genes are BB, thus they will have brown eyes, and furthermore, they can't grown up and have a blue-eyed baby someday, because they're not a carrier of the blue eyed gene.
4) baby gets one b blue-eyed gene from dad, and one blue-eyed gene b from mom. The baby's genes are bb. The baby will have blue eyes, and their offspring will have at least one blue-eyed gene themself some day.
Hopefully that makes sense, and the difference between two blue-eyed people hypothetically 'having a brown-eyed baby' and the fair chance of two brown-eyed people having a blue-eyed baby is clear.

∙ 15y agoYes. Possibly, if your mother's father or your father's mother had brown eyes or even if your partner or mate has brown eyes it is possibly.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt means you both carried the gene for blue eyes as a recessive gene. She inherited the recessive gene from both of you, which caused her to have blue eyes.

∙ 12y agoBlue eyes and green eyes are caused by the same gene. The amount of melanin in the eye determines the eyes color.

Can a baby be born with blood type A or O if father is blood type A dominant and mother is blood type O dominant?
The baby can be born with either. My father is Type A and my mother is O. I'm A, and my brother is O. It is possible that it will complicate the pregnancy though. The baby can be born with either. My father is Type A and my mother is O. I'm A, and my brother is O. It is possible that it will complicate the pregnancy though.
If the mother has blond hair and the father has red hair what color hair will the baby have?
Possible colors: blond, brown, red, auburn
Can a mother with b plus blood type and a father with b plus blood type have a baby with a blood type?
Yes, it is possible. The geneotype of the mother would be either BB or BO and for the father would be OO. If you cross the father's geneotype and either of the mother's then at least two of the four outcomes will be for B blood type. As for the - and +, positive is dominant over negative. The father could be + - or + + and the mother would be - -. Either combination would result in at least two positives. Therefore, it is possible for the mother to be B-, the father to be O+ and the baby to be B+. I added the link to the website where I got my info from. I want to know if an rh b neg blood type mother and an O positive father can have an A positive baby?
If mother born with blonde hair now has very dark brown hair her parents had black light brown hair. Father has dirty blondesandy brown hair and freckles. What is the chance of a red head baby?
Does anyone on either side of the family have red hair? If your grandparent - or your baby's father - had a grandparent with red hair the baby could have it. You have to look farther back than just your parents & his parents.
What are the possible parental bloodtypes for a child with the blood-type A positive?
There are many possibilities, but two things are certain: at least one parent must be type A or AB, and at least one parent must be Rh + A child with blood type A+ can have the following combinations of parents: Mother A+, Father A+ Mother A+, Father A- Mother A-, Father A+ Mother A+, Father B+ Mother A+, Father B- Mother A-, Father B+ Mother A+, Father AB+ Mother A+, Father AB- Mother A-, Father AB+ Mother A+, Father O+ Mother A+, Father O- Mother A-, Father O+ Mother B+, Father A+ Mother B+, Father A- Mother B-, Father A+ Mother B+, Father AB+ Mother B+, Father AB- Mother B-, Father AB+ Mother AB+, Father A+ Mother AB+, Father A- Mother AB-, Father A+ Mother AB+, Father B+ Mother AB+, Father B- Mother AB-, Father B+ Mother AB+, Father AB+ Mother AB+, Father AB- Mother AB-, Father AB+ Mother AB+, Father O+ Mother AB+, Father O- Mother AB-, Father O+ Mother O+, Father A+ Mother O+, Father A- Mother O-, Father A+ Mother O+, Father AB+ Mother O+, Father AB- Mother O-, Father AB+
The father has brown eyes and the mother has brown eyes can the baby have blue eyes?
yes
What color will baby hair be if the father has red hair and the mother has black hair?
if mother has black and the father has red it will probally be brown
If the mother has green eyes and the father has brown eyes can their baby have blue?
Yes.
Is it possible for a mother A plus and father O plus to have a baby A?
yes
Is it possible for an a plus mother and A o plus father to have a AB plus baby?
yes, it is possible.
Couldn't a baby have any of the father's features?
Yes, it is possible for a baby not to get any feature of the father but get the features of the mother, grand father, grand mother, and/or former grand parents. The only feature that the baby should have of the father is the DNA picture.
Is it possible for an AB negative mother to have a baby with an o positive father?
yes
What color Eyes will a baby have if the mother has blue eyes and the father has Red Eyes?
You cant have red eyes... but the baby would most likely get blue eyes or brown (If the dd had brown, then the baby would have brown)
Can an o- mother and a o- father have an o plus baby?
it is possible but chances are rare.
Can father infect baby with AIDS if mother does not have it?
Yes, it's possible. but fairly unlikely.
What color eyes would the baby have if the father and mother have brown eyes?
Probably brown. It depends on what the parents carry as a recessive gene.
Father has red hair and the mother has blonde hair can the baby have dark brown?
i don't think so.
