If you have green eyes and your husband has blue can you have a brown eyed child?

Yes. Green eyes and blue eyes are caused by the same gene. It depends on what recessive genes you both carry.
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.

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 eyes will a baby have if the father has blue eyes and the mother has green eyes?
It is possible for the child's eyes to be any colour - blue, green, black, brown... more than likely a mixture or a aquamarine blue with a hint of green, surprisingly green is a recessive gene to brown and blue, my mom had brown eyes an my dad had green so i have brown, and my friends mother had green eyes an her father had sky blue an there child had blue eyes my friend an her other siblings had aquamarine..itsa verry good mixture !
Can a child's eyes be blue if the parents eyes are green and brown?
Yes. Green eyes and blue eyes are caused by the same gene.
Cana green eye and a brown eye produce a blue eyed child?
no
Eye color can a child have blue eyes from brown and green eyed parents?
yes, people with brown eyes can carry the blue eye gene, so two brown-or-green-eyed people who both carry the blue eye gene have a 25% chance chance of a blue eyed child (with each birth).
Can father with blue eyes and mother with green can get a child with brown eyes?
Yes it is very possible if one of the child's grandparents on the maternal or paternal had or have blue eyes. Even though having blue eyes would be a recessive trait rather than dominant one it could happen.
Can a green eyed mother and blue eyed father have a brown eyed child?
Yes
Can green eyed woman and brown eyed man have blue eyed children?
Yes, it's possible. My sister & her husband are this same combination and both of their daughters have blue eyes. Also my friend and her husband both have brown eyes and 1 of their 3 kids has blue.
Can a brown eye man and a green eye woman make a blue eye child?
yes
What eye color will be the child's eye color if the mom is green and the dads eye color is blue?
The green eye and the blue eye are the same gene, so is black and brown. The child's eyes would have to be green or blue because both parents onlt have blue genes. If both parents have brown eyes there is still a chance the child's eyes could come out blue, but only if one of the parents have a hidden blue gene. But is both parents have blue eyes this means all their genes are blue and the child will 100% have blue eyes.
Can a green eyed father and a brown eyed mother have a child with blue eyes or green eyes?
Yes. Both parents could have the gene for green/blue eyes as a recessive gene.
If trying to determine paternity if a child has blue eyes and the mother has blue eyes which is most likely the father the one with green eyes or brown eyes?
Brown eyes.
