Yes, two blue eyed people can produce brown eyed offspring, this usually occurs because there is a brown eyed family member which is directly related, eg. grandparent or great-grandparent, due to the fact that the genes are still in the family even if they lie dormant and skip a generation or two.

Yes, but only if one of your parents on both sides had blue eyes. Since brown eye genes are dominant over the blue eye gene, there is only an 1/4 chance of it. If both of you have the Bb gene for blue eyes, use a punnett square to figure out your chances. It is 1/4.

Yes they can but its sorta rare. Green eyes are dominate to blue eyes so say parent 1 has Gg (G= green gene g=blue gene) and parent 2 has the same genes (Gg) there would be a 1/4 chance of the kid getting blue eyes the potential genes would be. (GG) homozygous green, two (Gg) heterozygous green, and (gg) homozygous blue.

A recessive gene (ex. blue eyes) HAS to be homozygous.

Yes, two blue eyed people can and most likely will have a blue eyed baby. Two blue eyed people are likely to produce a brown eyed baby as well.

It means the parents carried the gene for blue eyes as a recessive gene.


Can a baby have blue eyes if both parents have brown eyes and grandparents on one side have blue and brown and on the other side have green and brown?

yes, although the likely hood chance is that it will have brown eyes as both of the parents do.


IF a mother has green eyes and the father has blue could a baby have brown eyes?

Yes. Brown is the domanent color. Look at his parents and her parents eyes. what colors do they have?


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.


What are the specifics about the genetics for two blue eyed people to have a brown eyed baby?

It is impossible for a baby to have brown eyes if both of his parents have blue eyes since the brown eye gene is more dominant.


What color will your baby's eyes be if the father has br eyes and br hair and mother has br hair and br eyes but the fathers dad has blue eyes and blonde hair?

Well it depends also what color eye the mother's parents or any of the parents siblings have. Mother's Parents (both brown eyes) 5.1% blue eyes & 8.5% green eyes & 86.3% brown eyes Mother's Parents (green eyes & brown eyes) 7.8% blue eyes & 17.1& green eyes & 75% brown eyes Mother Parents (blue eyes & brown eyes) 14% blue eyes & 10.9% green eyes & 75% brown eyes Throwing siblings into the mix Mother's Parents (both brown eyes) Mother's Siblings (blue & green eyes) 8.0% blue eyes & 8.6% green eyes & 83.3% brown eyes Mother's Parents (both brown eyes) Mother's Siblings (blue eyes) 8.0% blue eyes & 8.6% green eyes & 83.3% brown eyes Mother's Parents (both brown eyes) Mother's Siblings (green eyes) 5.8% blue eyes & 10.8% green eyes & 83.3% brown eyes ...and so on


My brother has baby blue eyes and his girlfriend has light green eyes there baby was born with brown eyes Is this possible We dont think its his child and none of our family has brown eyes?

Of course the baby can have brown eyes!! Only 2 blue eyed people can have a blue eyed baby, any other eye colour is possible when 2 parents have different colour eyes.


How can two blue eyed parents have a baby with brow eyes?

Genetics is quite confusing. Both of the parents must have had one blue allele (gene) and one brown one. This means that there is a 1/4 chance that the baby could have brown eyes. Blue eyes are dominant, so if the baby had one blue gene in his eyes he would have had blue eyes. Since the parents had one of each, the baby had a 1/4 chance of having two blue alleles, 2/4 chance of 1 blue and 1 brown alleles (which still means both blue eyes), or 1/4 chance of 2 brown alleles.

If a man had black hair and blue eyes and the woman had blond hair blue eyes can the child come out with brown eyes blond hair if the grandmother had brown eyes?

Blue eyes are a recessive trait. If at least one of the parents had a blue/hazel eyes with a mixture of blue and brown, then the couple's offspring could have brown eyes. If both parents had solid blue eyes, neither would have the dominant brown gene to pass to the baby, and it would have blue eyes, regardless of the grandmother's eye color.


What color Eyes will a baby have if the mother has blue eyes and the father has Red Eyes?

You cant have red eyes... but the baby would most likely get blue eyes or brown (If the dd had brown, then the baby would have brown)


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.


Is true that you can have a baby with blue eyes if both of the parents have browns eyes?

It is very unlikely, and I would say no but I do not know for sure. I do know that a baby is born with blue eyes if both parents have blue eyes, and that brown eyes are a dominant gene, soo.. curiously enough, blue is a rare eye colour. The order of common to rare: brown Hazel blue and blue-gray green violet (yes it is possible, Elizabeth Taylor had violet eyes)
