Two brown eyed parents can make a green eyed baby. Its all to do with genetics. It depends if both parents have a heterozygous gene for brown eye colour it is possible. Lets use Br for brown and G for green.

A Homozygous brown gene would hypothetically look like this Br/Br

A heterozygous brown gene would hypothetically look like this Br/G

Homozygous basically means that there are 2 of the same genes coupled together (hence Br/Br)

Heterozygous means 2 different genes that are coupled together (hence Br/G)

If both parents have a homozygous gene for brown eye colour, their baby would have a 100% chance of having a brown eye colour.

If both parents have a heterozygous gene for brown eye colour then there is a 25% chance that the baby will have green eyes and a 75% chance that the baby will have brown eyes.

If one parent has a heterozygous brown gene and one has a homozygous brown gene then the baby will have a 100% chance of having brown eyes.

There is also such as thing as "Designer Babies" where they fertilize an egg outside of the womb and genetically alter the DNA, so that you can change the hair colour eye colour etc.

Two green eyed parents can have a green eyed child. Since green is a recessive gene and the absence of brown eyes in the parents means that there is an absence of the dominant brown gene altogether.

Well, yes. It's obvious that the allele is there for green eyes.

If a brown eyed man marries a brown eyed woman can they have a green eyed child?

Yes. There are at least five genes that contribute to eye color. It is quite possible for both parents to have brown eyes (which are dominant) and yet carry other genes that can produce a green-eyed child.


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 0 positive parents born an A positive child?

With genetic mutations during replication, anything is possible. But, in general two O negative parents could only have a child that is O negative. Conversely, two O positive parents could have a child that is either O negative or O positive.


If a brown eyed man marries a blue eyed woman and they have ten children all brown eyed can you be certain that the man is homozygous?

No. You cannot prove/disprove homozygosity. You can prove heterozygosity if there was a blue-eyed child, but as long as the couple keeps having brown-eyed children, it cannot be shown whether the man is homozygous.


A person w green eyes and a person w brown eyes what color will the child have?

50% BROWN0% GREEN50% BLUEThe brown gene is dominant but if it also carries a recessive blue gene then they can have a blue eyes babyAnswerSince brown is a dominant gene and blue is the recessive gene, the child will usually have brown eyes. My father had brown eyes and my mother had blue eyes. They had three children: two brown eyes and me a blue green or as some call it grey eyed child. Then my brown eyed sister had a child with a blue eyed man and their son had blue eyes. So you really need to check to see if the brown eyed person has a brown or blue eyed parents. If one parent has blue eyes then yes it would be possible to have a blue eyed child. So the answer may lie with the Grandparents of the brown eyed person having the child. Check to see if one has blue eyes. Hope this wasn't to confusing.You can definitly can have green eyes when one parent has blue eyes and the other has brown. My Mother has brown eyes and my Father has blue eyes and i have green eyes and my twin sister has green eyes and he is definity our father. My brother has blue eyes though.

Will Two blue eyed parents recessive definitely have a blue eyed Child?

yes because two parents with recessive traits do not have the dominant allele to pass onto the child

What color will the eyes be if the mother has blue eyes and the father has green eyes?

Most likely hazel or green. Blue eyes are a recessive gene, so it is very possible for two brown-eyed parents to have a blue-eyed child.


Eye color can a child have blue eyes from brown and green eyed parents?

yes, people with brown eyes can carry the blue eye gene, so two brown-or-green-eyed people who both carry the blue eye gene have a 25% chance chance of a blue eyed child (with each birth).


Can two non blue eyed parents have a blue eyed child?

Yes but it depend on the gene pool you come from


Can green eyed parents produce blue eyed children?

yes it is quite possible, hence, if only one parent has green eyes the more chance of producing a baby with blue eyes than if both of the parents have green eyes. Sometimes the child's eye colour changes after growing a bit. Sarah xD


Mendelian inheritance is it possible for two brown eyed parents to have a blue eyed child?

Yes, because blue is recessive


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.


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.


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.
