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, because if a blue-eyed man is BB or Bb, meaning the B is blue-eyed and dominant, and the b is brown-eyed and recessive, marries a woman who is bb, or has brown-eyes, the children could be either all blue-eyed if the man was BB, or 50% are blue-eyed if the man is Bb.

Can a brown eyed woman and brown eyed man make a blue eyed child?

Yes, as long as one of their Grandparents/ Great Grandparents has blue eyes. If both pairs of Grandparents have brown eyes then it is VERY unlikely :)


Can a blue eyed man and a brown eyed woman make a blue eyed baby?

Yes. The woman can be heterogeneous non-blue. That means she carries a blue eyed gene and a non-blue eyed gene. The blue eyed is normally recessive so he carries both blue eye genes and doesn't carry a non-blue gene.If two blue eyed parents have a child then the child will be blue eyed.


Can a brown eyed dad and a blue eyed mom make a blue eyed baby?

yes, only 2 blue eyed people can only have a blue eyed baby, this will not change ever! where as 2 brown eyed people can also have a blue eyed baby, but for 2 blue eyed people to have a brown eyed baby is impossible!


Can a green eyed woman and a brown eyed man have a blue eyed boy?

you cannot have a blue eyed boy. unless there is someone in your family that has blue eyes. the brown and green would be either a recessive or dominent trait. traits don't mix together to create different things. like brown and green. brown and green don't even mix to make blue


Can Brown eyed dad and blue eyed mom make a blue eyed baby?

yes. if the dad has 1 recessive blue gene and 1 dominant brown gene then he can either pass on the blue gene or the brown gene.


Can a blue eyed momand a brown eyed dad make a green eyed baby?

yes it can be true but sometimes not


Can a brown eyed man and a brown eyed woman have a blue eyed baby?

Yes, because your genes have both dominant and recessive traits, so you may have 1 blue and 1 brown and your wife may have 1 blue and 1 brown and (and this is gross simplification) when your genes combine if even one of your brown traits gets passed onto the child it will have brown eyes.


Can two brown eyed parents produce a blue eyed child if the mothers parent is the only one with blue eyes?

Check your question it doesn't make sense


Can two brown eyes parents produce a blue eyes child?

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.


Can blue-eyed parents make a brown eyed child?

Yes, it is possible, but there must be two (recessive) brown eye genes or at least one dominant one, that were dormant in the parents.


Can brown eyed dad and hazel eyed mother make blue eyed baby?

Yes, absolutely. Hazel eyes is the combination of the blue and brown eye color gene. For instance, a blue eyed mother and brown eyed father could have a hazel eye colored child. So that means all hazel eyed children can have a brown eyed child because they carry the brown eyed gene in their DNA from their father, in this case.


Can Blue eyes plus green eyes make dk brown eyed children?
