Not necessarily. A pair of blue-eyed parents may have a brown-eyed child. This is because there is more than one gene involved in eye-color determination. Please see the thorough explanation in the links.

∙ 13y agoBlue eyes are a recessive gene, if both parents have blue eyes then yes, the child will have blue eyes.
This original answer is not correct. Eye color not only depends on the parents eye color, but each parent's parents eye color genetics as well (grandparents to this theoretical blue-eyed child). Lets say that just one of those grandparents passed on a Bb gene (Brown blue) to their child (one of the theoretical parents), that leaves the possibility that there is a Brown gene present which heightens the possibility of having a brown eyed child/grandchild. The only case in which a child with Brown eyes is very unlikely to occur is to parents which both have Green eyes (G) - G genes are dominant over blue, and generally do not occur with Brown genes.
Eyecolor genetics (EYCL) are very difficult to decipher and are not entirely understood, but some basic guidelines can give you good predictibility if you can go back a generation or two in lineage.

Answer 2Yes, it is possible for blue eye parents to have a child with brown eyes. The gene, or genes for blue eyes are recessive. While the gene, or genes for brown eyes are dominate because the gene or genes for blue eyes is recessive and both of your parents must also carry the recessive gene for blue eyes.- MH01
No, this is impossible,
parents both only have the recessive and you CAN'T carry the dominant one because than the parents would have had brown eyes instead of blue,
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYES. It's very common to get your genes from your grandparents. Check their eye color.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo they can have green eyed kids it depends what's in your generation like i know a person who had kids and they were both red heads and they came out with a black haired girl

∙ 14y agoYes, the child's parents might have recessive genes in them.

What eye color will be the child's eye color if the mom is green and the dads eye color is blue?
The green eye and the blue eye are the same gene, so is black and brown. The child's eyes would have to be green or blue because both parents onlt have blue genes. If both parents have brown eyes there is still a chance the child's eyes could come out blue, but only if one of the parents have a hidden blue gene. But is both parents have blue eyes this means all their genes are blue and the child will 100% have blue eyes.
Can a child have blue eyes if both parents eyes are brown and green?
Yes, if the parents carry the gene for green eyes as a recessive gene.
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 blue eyed male with both his parents having blue eyes marries a brown eyed female with her mother having blue eyes and her father having brown eyes could they have a brown eyed child?
Yes. Brown is dominant for eye color.
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).
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 come both of a child's parents have brown eyes but the child can has blue eyes?
Your wife had an affair; simple.
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.
What eye color will be the child's eye color if the mom is green and the dads eye color is blue?
The green eye and the blue eye are the same gene, so is black and brown. The child's eyes would have to be green or blue because both parents onlt have blue genes. If both parents have brown eyes there is still a chance the child's eyes could come out blue, but only if one of the parents have a hidden blue gene. But is both parents have blue eyes this means all their genes are blue and the child will 100% have blue eyes.
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?
Yes, if the parents carry the gene for green eyes as a recessive gene.
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 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.
How can this be possible where the couple has brown eyes and the child can have blue eyes?
Blue eyes are a recessive trait, while brown eyes are dominant. If both parents are heterozygous for brown eyes, it means they both carry the recessive trait for blue eyes, and so there is a 25% chance their offspring will be blue-eyed.
Can a child have blue eyes if both parents have brown?
98.5% of the time they have the color of the parent that has the dominate color, not the resessive unless they both have a resessive color.
If both parents have brown eyes what color will the child have?
Brown. What does the grandmother have?
Can a blue eyed male with both his parents having blue eyes marries a brown eyed female with her mother having blue eyes and her father having brown eyes could they have a brown eyed child?
Yes. Brown is dominant for eye color.
