no, because dominant is different from recessive, its impossible to have a dominant-recessive trait because the dominant is when only one copy of the gene is present, while in the recessive a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring, in short the dominant is for single parent, while in the recessive is a product of two parents.

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.
