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.
Yes, two blue eyed parents can have brown eyed children.
Yes, if both parents with blue eyes get contacts which color their eyes brown, then two blue eyed parents can have brown eyes.
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.
Yes. Brown is dominant for eye color.
Yes, buy only if the parents are heterozygous for the trait and if the trait is dominant.
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!
Brown eyes are dominant traits
maybe
I believe so, if both the parents have recessive alleles for blue eyes.

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.
Yes, because blue is recessive
Yes. Brown is dominant for eye color.
Yes, buy only if the parents are heterozygous for the trait and if the trait is dominant.
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 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!
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.
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.
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
