I can not insure the accuracy of this but using the punnett Square calculator on this website: www.changbioscience.com/genetics/punnett.html

theoretically a child with a green eyed parent and a brown eyed parent (not hazel) you would have a 50% chance of having a child with grey eyes (which look blueish) and a 50% chance of having a child with hazel eyes.

These are the genotypes for eye colours that you can use to have a go your self:

EEEEEEEE Black Eyes

EEEEEEEe Brown Eyes

EEEEEEee Hazel Eyes

EEEEEeee Grey Eyes

EEEEeeee Amber Eyes

EEEeeeee Blue-Green

EEeeeeee Green

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.


What color would your eyes be if your parents have different eye color?

if your parents have different color eyes: if eyes are not brown, no brown gene lets say one green other brown. green parent may have green/blue gene. brown parent may have brown/green gene. your eyes might be blue. 1/4 chance of it.


Can a brown eyed man and a brown eyed woman have a blue eyed child?

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.


Do blue and green eyes can make brown?

No. Blue eyes come from a recessive gene from each parent. The child must of 2 recessive gene pairs to have blue eyes (which is actually the lack of eye pigment). So a brown eyed parent and a green eyed parent may have a blue eyed child if both pass on a recessive blue eye gene, but if just one dominant brown or green eyed gene is passed along it will trump the recessive blue eyed gene and the child will have brown or green eyes.


If mother have green eyes and father has dark brown eyes grandmother has blue eyes and grandfather has brown eyes what color might the child have?

The child could have green eyes, dark brown eyes, or blue eyes based on the genetic combinations of the eye color alleles inherited from the parents and grandparents. The specific outcome would depend on the exact combination of alleles passed down to the child.


Can Blue eyes plus green eyes make dk brown eyed children?

either blue eyes or green eyes. ===


Can a blue eyed parent and a brown eyed parent have a child with green eyes?

There is no way to tell for sure, they could have blue, green, or a mix (blue-green). Its even possible that the mom or dad could have some brown eye genes in the from previous ancestors and the kid could have brown eyes!


Can a brown eyed mom and a green eyed dad get a green eyed baby?

Yes, the mother with brown eyes has a second eye color potential. In biology it is called a recessive trait. She can bare children with different eye colors. By my professors account, his friends had seven children with blue eyes, and both parents had brown eyes. They say the brown eyes are the dominant trait, but it is obviously not a fact or it is not always the case. The mother in your case probably has a parent with blue or green eyes I would suspect.


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.


Can a baby have blue eyes if the father has brown and the mother has green?

Yes. Green eyes and blue eyes are caused by the same gene. 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.


If brown eyed Karen marries a blue-eyed man even though her father had blue eyes what color teyes will her children have?

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


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!
