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.
My husband has blue eyes and blond hair, i have black hair and brown eyes. My son has blond hair and blue eyes and my daughter has brown hair and brown eyes. they are both wonderful children and absolutely beautiful despite the differences in their appearances.
Blue eyes are a recessive gene, so you should be most likely to have brown eyes. By doing a Punnet Square, however, you can find the exact likelihood.
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.
Yes Of Course-- Edit --Yes, all people have 2 sets of genetics for eye color. Their actual eye color and one other which is more than likely determined by their parent's eye colors.So, if a couple where one person has blue eyes and the other has brown eyes has a child that has blue eyes that child has a 2nd gene which is likely brown, therefore their child can have brown 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.
It is most likely that the child might have brown eyes as brown is more dominant. If you have more children, it is likely your other children will have blue or green eyes. It is most likely that the child might have brown eyes as brown is more dominant. If you have more children, it is likely your other children will have blue or green eyes. Again, It is more likely for the child to have brown eyes. I'm not sure, but maybe if you have more children the colors will mix a little. I think it is most likely for your child to have brown eyes, but my parents both have brown eyes, but my sister and I have blue. Slight chance that it could be brown with blue or green flecks, or hazel.
Blond and green genes are recessive so it depends on the brow-eyed, brown-haired parent's genetic lineage. Most probably most of the children will be brown-eyed and brown haired.
Brown, blue, or a mixture making a grayish blueish brown!
The likely-hood of receiving either a dominant or recessive gene from each parent. One parent might have a Bb and the other parent have bb, where B is for dominant brown eyes. If you put them together, You will have a Bb, Bb, bb, and bb. That means you have a 50% chance of having brown eyes sense bb means you do not have brown eyes.
Grant's white horse is likely the color white. This horse may have other colors like brown or black in spots though.
It depends on the genes but most likely brown because the allele for brown eyes is dominant over all other alleles
It depends on the genes but most likely brown because the allele for brown eyes is dominant over all other alleles
Sort of. Your eye color is controlled by your genes, and your genes come from your parents BUT for instance; both brown eyed parents could carry a recesive blue gene and both could have passed it on to the child ... yes, the color came from the parents, but neither parent seems to have it.
The gene that causes blue pigmentation of the eyes is a recessive gene. The parents both have to have that recessive gene for the child to have blue eyes. of course if the descendants of the baby have blue eyes or the ancestors
