I don't know but happened to me
It can happen if one parent actually has a gene for brown eyes but for some reason that gene is not expressed. This can possibly be because the gene is not switched on. The gene could be passed to the baby and get switched on in the baby. Much less likely, there could be a genetic mutation which occurred in the gamete or in the early embryo.
no they cannot because if you have blue eyes, your alleles are bb, and so... bb and bb have no B, and therefore, with no dominant gene, there cannot be a brown eyed child.
Yes. Brown is dominant for eye color.
Theoretically, a blue eyed man and a blue eyed woman cannot produce a brown-eyed child. The reason is that neither parent carries the brown-eyed gene. If the father or mother did carry the brown-eyed gene, the eyes/irises of that parent would be brown. The gene for brown is dominant over the gene for blue. However, two brown eyed parents can produce a blue eyed child. In that case, each parent with brown eyes must carry the gene for blue - the parents' eyes are brown because the brown gene is dominant over the blue gene. However, if the child inherits a blue gene from both brown eyed parents, the result will be blue eyes although both parents have brown eyes. In the case of one parent with brown eyes and one parent with blue eyes, there is a possibility that the parent with brown eyes possesses the non-dominant blue gene. If the child inherits the blue gene from that brown eyed parent, the child's eyes will be blue since the gene from the other parent with blue eyes will be blue. There is a condition known as heterochromia iridis where one eye is brown and one eye is blue. This condition is usually pathological on a neurogenic or inflammatory basis with the abnormality usually being in the lighter/ blue eye. Acquired heterochromia iridis that develops in an adult may suggest a melanoma of the iris in the brown eye.
Yes, buy only if the parents are heterozygous for the trait and if the trait is dominant.
it depends on the parents. blue eyes are recessive, and brown are dominant. therefore, if any of your parent is brown eyed, and the other blue eyed, then the brown will dominate over the blue. it all depends on your genes!

maybe
I believe so, if both the parents have recessive alleles for blue eyes.
Yes. It may not be as likely but the parents may still carry blue eyed genes from their parents or older ancestors, despite having brown eyes themselves, which means: YES! So for example Say the grandma had hazel eyes but the grandpa had blue YES! all babies have blue eyes though!
GeneticsYes, it's possible for a pair of blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed offspring. It all depends on each parent's genotype, and which trait comes from the dominant or recessive allele.
Yes, because blue is recessive

Well, both of my parents had brown eyes. Out of 11 kids 3 had brown and the rest of us had blue.Come to think of it, the mailman and the milkman had blue eyes.

I don't think two brown eyed parents produce a blue eyed child, but a brown eyed parent and a blue eyed parent can produce a child with blue eyes. Brown eyes are not always dominate.Two brown-eyed parents CAN produce a blue-eyed child if BOTH carry the recessive gene for blue eyes. Recessive means it can hide, but is still present and ready to be carried on to a future generation. Brown eyes ARE dominant. If you carry the gene for brown eyes, your eyes are brown. This does not mean you can't also carry the recessive gene for blue/green eyes.
