Either. The genetics of eye color are more complicated than previously thought. Color is determined by multiple genes. The genetics of eye color are so complex, that almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur.

... both.

you have two eye genes, and both of your parents have 2 eye genes as well. Both randomly pass one of their genes to you. The dominant gene will determine what your eye colour is.

(brown is the most dominant gene. blue is the least dominant gene. Generally, the darker colours are more dominant.)

if the mom and dad both have brown eyes the child will most likely have brown eyes. but if the grandparents have a different eye color the child might not have brown eyes because of recessive genes.

What color hair and eye will a baby have if the father has strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes and the mother has blonde hair and blue eyes?

It will have no eyes. So there! The child probably will have a lighter haircolour, and it can have both brown eyes and blue eyes,


What color eyes will the child have father has grey eyes mother has blue eyes?

well it depends on if the mother has one trait for blue eyes or not. if the mother does then there is a 1/4 chance that the child will have blue eyes and a 3/4 chance that the child will have brown eyes but if the mother does not have a blue eyed gene and she carries 2 genes for brown eyes then your child is going to have brown eyes. but no matter wat color your child's eyes are he/she will carry one gene for blue eyes and will have a possibility to pass down blue eyes to his/her child


What color hair will a child have if dad has brown hair with brown eyes and mom has blonde hair with blue eyes?

Um, you would not know unless you know if the hair gene is ressive or domiant in the mother of father. Um, you would not know unless you know if the hair gene is ressive or domiant in the mother of father. I have dark auburn hair and green eyes, does that help?


Your hair as a child blonde now mousy with dark blue eyes husband as child red hair now sandy brown with blue eyes what colour hair will baby have?

The child could have almost any hair color. It all depends on the past history of the family. Hair color is determined by 2 polygenes. One that is Blonde or Brown. The other is Red or not red. The father has a brown allele present, which is dominant to blond. Blond and red are both recessive hair colors, so the likelihood of the child having either is lower to begin with. Because of the father's brown allele there's a 50% chance of the child having darker hair, and depending on the allele that the mother possesses, there's either a 50% or a 0% chance of the child having red hair. So there could be a 50% chance of the child being blond, a 50% chance of the child being dark haired, and depending on the mother's allele a 50% chance of being a darker red haired individual. Hopefully you can make sense of that.

If red is the dominant hair color but the father has brown hair and the mother has red hair and the hair color of the father is dominant then what color will the hair of their child be?

It's very hard to answer this question as there are no details on what alleles the fathers or mothers DNA contains. The father has to have an allele for red hair for the child to have a chance of having it. Presuming that the father has a brown and red hair allele and the mother has the same it works out like this. Brown + Brown = Brown Brown + Red = Brown (Because it's dominant) Brown + Red (from other parents) = Brown (Because brown is dominant) Red + Red = Red The chances of brown therefore is 3:1 as you cannot be sure on what the child will receive. MORE like 5-1 his here will be blond

If your mother had brown eyes and her father had blue eyes what would the baby have?

Brown color of eye is dominant over blue color. If the mother is homozygous for brown color of eye, than the all the children will have brown color eyes. If mother is heterozygous for brown eyes, than 50% of children will have brown eyes and 50% will have blue eyes.
