The genetics of eye color are more complex than realized previously. Almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur.

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 two brown eyed parents produce a blue eyed child if the mothers parent is the only one with blue 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 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.
How does a child of a brown eyed and blue eyed parents have blue eyes?
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.
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.

What colour will the child's eyes be if one parent has brown eyes and the other parent has blue eyes?
Brown, blue, or a mixture making a grayish blueish brown!

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.

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?
you jackass
Cana green eye and a brown eye produce a blue eyed child?
no
A child has brown hair and brown eyes His father has brown hair and blue eyes His mother has red hair and brown eyes The best explanation for the child having brown hair and brown eyes is that?
the child received genetic information from each parent.
What color will the baby's eyes be if the mom has brown eyes and the dad has blue eyes?
If the baby gets a brown eye gene from one parent and a blue eye gene from the other parent, the child will likely have brown eyes because brown is dominant over blue. Or if the brown eyed parent has a blue recessive gene and the baby gets it then that child will have 2 blue eye genes and will have blue eyes. Of course there could be other recessive genes of other colors so the child could have hazel or green too. This is my basic understanding of how it works.
How do you tell a brown eyed person has the blue eye gene?
There are two genes for the eyes - dominant and recessive. Brown eyes are dominant and one only has to have one of the dominant brown eyed genes to have brown eyes. In order to have blue eyes, one has to have both eye genes recessive. No blue-eyed person will have a brown-eyed gene, but a brown eyed person can have a blue eyed gene. Example : since brown is dominant, let "B" represent the dominant brown eye gene. Let "b" represent the recessive blue eye gene. The combinations for eye color (one gene from each parent) are BB, Bb, bb. Thus BB and Bb will always be a brown eyed person. bb can only be blue eyes because since blue eyes are recessive, one must have both blue eyed genes to have blue eyes (bb). Another example on what color eyes a child will have with one brown eyed parent and the other blue eyed : Mother BB or Bb (brown) - Father bb (blue). If the mother does not have one of the recessive genes (Bb), the child will always have brown eyes (Bb) because he/she will inherit the dominant gene B from mother and b from father (Bb), which is brown. If mother has brown eyes (Bb) and father still is bb, the combinations for the child are either Bb, Bb, bb, bb or 50-50 brown or blue. NO child can have brown eyes whose parents BOTH have blue eyes (bb and bb will only produce bb, which is blue eyes). In summary, BB and Bb is brown eyes and bb is only blue eyes. We inherit one gene from each parent.
