Can a blue eyed parent and a brown eyed parent have blue eyed children?

The blue eyed parents may have heterozygous genotypes with the dominant gene and recessive gene for blue and brown eyes respectively. During segregation of gametes, their is a likelihood that their child may inherit the recessive genes from both parents. Consequently, their child will have brown eyes.

Can a blue eyed man and a brown eyed woman make a blue eyed kid?
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.
Can someone with brown eyes and one with green eyes have a blue eyed child?
It is possible for a child with a brown-eyed parent and a green-eyed parent to have blue eyes if there is the trait for blue eyes in the child's genetics. Such as a grandparent with blue eyes.
Can to blue eyed parents have brown eyed children?
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.
Why do some people have blue eyes and some have brown?
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!
What is a dormant gene?
A dormant gene is one that is present but inactive. An example of this would be when a baby is conceived by a blue eyed and brown eyed parent. The child will have brown eyes. This is because the brown eyed gene is dominant and the blue eyed gene will lay dormant.
Does cross over inheritance occur when one blue eyed blonde hair parent and one brown eyed brown hair parent have a blue eyed brown hair child?

If brown eyed Karen marries a blue-eyed man even though her father had blue eyes what color teyes will her children have?
There is no way to actually predict the answer. You an figure the "odds" of Karen having blue eyed children, but not actually predict the outcome. For example In a family where 3 out of 4 grandparents had blue eyes and 1 of 2 parents had blue eyes - the couple had two children, both of which had brown eyes. Another couple with the same statistics had one child with blue eyes. Another couple with the same statistics had 2 blue eyed children. The "Odds" are dependent on a concept called recessive and dominant genes. The gene for blue eyes is "recessive". Which means a baby must get 1 gene for blue eyes from BOTH parents in order to have blue eyes. Because 1 parent has brown eyes, we know that parent has at least 1 dominant brown eyed gene. So one parent has Br b combo (BR=brown b=blue). The other parent has blue eyes so has a b b combination. Of course, the brown eyed parent may have two brown eyed genes and no blue eyed genes. Go figure. Any way, the chances of having a blue eyed baby is slimmer than having a brown eyed baby. How you get a green eyed baby.....I don't know. Finally - some consolation: All babies are born with blue eyes, so while it may be short lived, enjoy it while it lasts
Can 2 brown eyed parents produce a green eyed child?
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.
It is possible for a filipino brown eyed and a American blue eyed have a blue eyed baby?
It is highly unlikely, as the gene for brown eyes is dominant over the gene for blue eyes, and it's unlike the Filipino parent is carrying the blue gene. The baby will carry the gene for blue eyes, and if it's own spouse is blue-eyed, each of its children has a 50% chance of being blue-eyed.
Can to blue eyed parents have brown eyed children?
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.
Can a brown eyed man and a brown eyed woman have a blue eyed child?
Brown unless the mothers parent has blue eyes. Some cases are very different. It really depends on how many children the parents have or are planning to have. Most of the children will have brown eyes in this case. 1 out of 4 will have either blue or a green pigment. If the parent has only 1-3 children it is highly likey that their eyes will be brown instead of blue/green. This is not 100% that any of the children will have blue/green even if there were 8 children. It depends on how the gene "deals the hand of cards" to each individual child. Its more like a 65-75% chance that 1 out of 4 will have a blue/green eye color. If lucky the first child could very well have blue/green eyes, but the possibility is very slim.

Could two blue-eyed parents have a brown-eyed child?
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.
If a brown-eyed mother and a blue-eyed father have four children three will probably have brown eyes. What can you conclude from this?
Brown eyes are dominant traits
