Can a brown eyed man and a brown eyed woman have a blue eyed baby?
Yes, because your genes have both dominant and recessive traits, so you may have 1 blue and 1 brown and your wife may have 1 blue and 1 brown and (and this is gross simplification) when your genes combine if even one of your brown traits gets passed onto the child it will have brown eyes.
Can brown eyes change color?
Yes, there can be the recessive genes from generations passed.Yes, there can be the recessive genes from generations passed.Yes, there can be the recessive genes from generations passed.Yes, there can be the recessive genes from generations passed.Yes, there can be the recessive genes from generations passed.Yes, there can be the recessive genes from generations passed.
Why do some people have blue eyes and some have brown?
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!
If you crossed a homozygous dominant man with brown eyes with a homozygous recessive woman with blue eyes what color or colors would their children have?
I don't know what your scientific terms mean, but I can tell you that I am a blue eyed female (my father was brown eyed/my mother had hazel eyes). The father of my two children is brown eyed. Both of my children have blue eyes.
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.

Is eye color a homozygous recessive genetic disorder?
Blue eyes - homozygous recessive Brown eyes - homozygous dominant Brown eyes with one brown allele and one blue allele - heterozygous
Can a brown eyed man and a green eyed woman have a blue eyed son?
Brown is dominant and Green is somewhere in the middle. There are possibilities that this may occur but without the genes then it is hard to tell. To get blue eyes both parents would need blue eyed recessive genes and the kid would have to receive both those recessive genes which is very rare. In this case blue eyes is not a sex-linked gene so its possible the the male and female with have a female with blue eyes. Most likely the child will have brown eyes though. This is because if the son does get the recessive from the mother, but gets the dominant from the father, the dominant will overpower the recessive and the son will just be another blue eye gene carrier and himself have brown eyes.
Can a green eyed man and brown eyed woman have a green eyed daughter?
Yes. Blue eyes are a recessive genetic trait, which means that a brown- or green-eyed person can still carry a gene for blue eyes. In this case, the blue-eyed gene is recessive, or subordinate, to the green- or brown-eyed gene. To be blue-eyed, an individual must have a recessive blue-eyed gene from both its mother and father.
Are brown eyes dominant or recessive?
Brown eyes are dominant. That's why more people have brown eyes then hazel or blue or green.
What if your friend has blue eyes her genes contain one allele for blue eyes and one allele for brown eyes which allele is recessive how do you know?
The brown allele is recessive. Think: Blue = B, and brown = b Your friend is Bb, or heterozygous for the gene. In heterozygotes, the expressed phenotype is the dominant gene, which in this case, apparently, is blue. Thus, because your friend does not have brown eyes, the brown allele must be recessive.
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.
If my eyes are blue and my partners are blue what color will our child's eyes be?
Probably blue. Though brown is possible if you both carry brown as a recessive gene.
A genetic trait which is present but unseen in an individual is called a trait?
Recessive For example, brown eyes (B) are dominant, blue eyes (b) are recessive. BB = brown Bb = brown bb = blue In the Bb genotype, the blue eyed gene is present, but the brown eyed gene is dominant, and show as the phenotype
What eye colors are dominant and which are recessive?
It depends what area you are talking about. If its in Europe then maybe blue eyes, or if its in India then probably brown eyes. In the whole world it is brown eyes.
Why is there a greater chance of getting a dominant trait rather than a recessive trait?
A dominant trait occurs when either both alleles are dominant or one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. This is because a dominant allele overpowers a recessive allele. In order to have a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive.
Can a green eyed woman and a brown eyed man have a blue eyed boy?
you cannot have a blue eyed boy. unless there is someone in your family that has blue eyes. the brown and green would be either a recessive or dominent trait. traits don't mix together to create different things. like brown and green. brown and green don't even mix to make blue
