Are green eyes dominant over brown eyes?

In most cases, no. If your parents give you a blue eye trait and a brown eye trait, you will most likely have brown eyes. However, there are many different alleles that factor into your eye color. That is why there are so many shades of eye color, such as blue, green, gray, brown, hazel, blue-green, etc... So, you may not always get pure blue or brown eyes, you may get a mix of both.

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

Yes, it is possible for blue-eyed and green-eyed parents to have dark brown-eyed children if both parents carry the genetic trait for brown eyes. Eye color inheritance is complex, as it is determined by multiple genes that can interact in various ways.


Can a child have blue eyes if both parents eyes are brown and green?

It is possible for a child to have blue eyes if both parents are carriers of the recessive blue eye gene. Blue eyes are a recessive trait, so if both parents carry this gene, there is a chance their child could inherit blue eyes.


How did you get green eyes when both of your parents have brown eyes?

It could be genetics like if your uncle or aunt or ancestors have green eyes that could be it!!!

What color eyes would a baby have if the males eyes are green and the females is brown?

The baby could have either green or brown eyes, as eye color is determined by a combination of genetic factors. If both parents carry a gene for green eyes, there is a chance the baby could inherit that trait. However, if the brown-eyed parent passes on both brown-eyed genes, then the baby will likely have brown eyes.


How do you get brown eyes from blue eyed parents?

if you go back to the beginning of your family tree, maybe a family member had brown eyes brown eyes is a dominate trait and blue eyes is a recessive trait, even tho they may both show the recessive trait they may both poses the brown eyes dominate trait and pass it onto you and you will show it. as the name implies you are more likely to show the dominate trait (75% chance dominate and 255 chance recessive). interestingly enough this means that you do have the recessive blue eye trait but you do not show it.


If a child has blue eyes and both parents have brown eyess what does that tell you about the trait?

What is a small piece of DNA that tells a cell how to express a trait?

DNA uses chromosomes 23 from your mom, and 23 from your dad. (46 together). If both your parents have brown eyes, there's a big chance of getting brown eyes.If both your parents have brown eyes and you get blue eyes that is a ressesive trait.


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, it is possible for a baby to have blue eyes in this scenario due to the presence of blue eye genes in the grandparents. Eye color is a complex trait that can be influenced by multiple genes, so even if both parents have brown eyes, they can still carry the genes for blue eyes that could be passed on to their child.


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.
