Brown eye gene = B
Blue eye gene = b
Each person has two copies of the eye color gene in their genome, one inherited from each parent. Now if both parents only carry the gene for brown eyes, BB and BB, then their child will receive one B from each parent, ending up as BB. The same works for blue eyes, if that's the only gene both parents carry, bb and bb. Each parents gives on b to the child, who ends up as bb.
If you have one parent who only has the gene for brown eyes, BB, and one parent who only has the gene for blue eyes, bb, then all the children will have brown eyes. Example: One parent gives a B, the other gives a b. Bb = brown eyes. Here's why: When you have two alleles (coding sequences) from genes that are at odds with each other, one version will override the the other. When dealing with eye color, B always dominates b. But these children now carry the b gene in them, and could pass it down to their own children. Some of them, depending on the other parent, could end up with blue eyes.
If one parent is Bb, and the other is bb, then each time they have a child, there is a 50% chance it will have blue eyes. Example: First parent is Bb, second parent is bb, then their children will end up as either Bb, bb, Bb, bb. If both parents carry the genes for brown eyes and blue eyes, then each time they have a child, there is a 25% chance it will have blue eyes. Example: First parent is Bb, second parent is Bb, then their children will end up as either BB, Bb, Bb, bb.
What else can I help you with?
Can a child get brown eyes if parents' eyes are hazel?
Yes, it is possible for a child to have brown eyes if their parents' eyes are hazel. Hazel eyes are a combination of brown and green eye pigments, so if the child inherits the brown pigment from both parents, they would likely have brown eyes. Eye color is determined by a combination of genetic factors from both parents.
If a child has blue eyes and both her parents have brown eyes what does that tell you about the trait for blue eyes?
That the trait for blue eyes was recessive in both parents.
How is it possible for two brown-eyed parents to have a blue-eyed child?
It is possible for two brown-eyed parents to have a blue-eyed child if both parents carry a recessive gene for blue eyes. When these recessive genes are passed on to the child, they can combine to produce the trait of blue eyes, even if the parents themselves have brown eyes.
If parents have Blue and Brown eyes what will the child have?
any color
What if your eyes are blue and your girlfriends eyes are brown Will your child have blue eyes or brown eyes?
You have a better chance of brown, because brown is dominant. If one of your girfriend's parents have blue eyes you have a The your girlfriend is a carrier of the recessive blue eyes gene and there is a 50% chance that your child will have blue eyes. If neither of her parents had blue eyes but one of their parents had blue eyes there is a 25% chance your child will have blue eyes. But statistics do not generally apply perfectly to real life, because life is fairly random. So it's better to say your chances SHOULD be 50% of having a child with blue eyes if one of your girlfriends parents have blue eyes, and your chances SHOULD be 25% etc.....
How come both of a child's parents have brown eyes but the child can has blue eyes?
Your wife had an affair; simple.
If both parents have brown eyes can an offspring have blue eyes explain?
Yes, it is possible for two parents with brown eyes to have a child with blue eyes if both parents carry a recessive gene for blue eyes. If each parent passes on this recessive gene to the child, then the child can have blue eyes. Eye color inheritance is a complex genetic trait involving multiple genes.
Can a child's eyes be blue if the parents eyes are green and brown?
Yes. Green eyes and blue eyes are caused by the same gene.
If a child has blue eyes and both parents have brown eyess what does that tell you about the trait?
The gene for blue eyes is recessive.
Can both parents have blue eyes and have a brown eyed baby?
No... Brown eyes are an dominating gene. If none off the parents have brown eyes none of them have the brown eye gene to give the child.
Can a child have blue eyes if both parents eyes are brown and green?
It is possible for a child to have blue eyes if both parents are carriers of the recessive blue eye gene. Blue eyes are a recessive trait, so if both parents carry this gene, there is a chance their child could inherit blue eyes.
Ifa woman and man both have brown eyes but their first child has blue eyes what are the chances that their second child will have blue eyes?
If both parents have brown eyes, it means they both carry the dominant brown eye color gene. However, if their first child has blue eyes, it indicates that both parents carry the recessive blue eye color gene. The chances of their second child having blue eyes would be 25%, as both parents would have to pass on the recessive gene for blue eyes.
