either your adopted or u have your mothers eyes that is called genes
You just have more of your mom's genes than your dad's genes.
Ok, technically you do not have to be adopted at all. it is possible that your father has a recessive gene for lighter eyes. and if your mom has light eyes that means that she obviously has that gene. meaning, if your dads recessice gene and your moms recessive gene combine then you can have light eyes, even if your dad has brown.
also, eye color has now been found to be a trait cause by more than just one gene

Can a green eyed father and a brown eyed mother have a brown eyed son?
Absolutely. Brown eyes are dominant. Green is a mutation.
What colour eyes will child have father has green mother has brown eyes?
brown eyes because brown is the dominant color :)
If a mother has green eye and the father has blue will a baby have brown?
Possibly. It depends if you are you are carrying the allel for brown eyes. And it depends if that is recessive or dominant.
If a brown eyed woman has a green eyed mother what is the brown eyed woman's genotype?
The mother's genotype is rr. The daughter would inherit one recessive allele from her mother because her mother has only recessive alleles. Because the daughter is green eyed, she would inherit a dominant allele from her father. The brown-eyed daughter's genotype would be Rr.
Can brown eye parents have green eye child?
It is possible, since the brown eyes could be a recessive or dominant trait in either the mother's or father's genotypes, and the father and mother might just be carriers of the brown eye gene in their genotype.
Can a brown eyed father and a green eyed mother produce a green eyed child?
yes..especially since your mother has green eyes.
If the mother has green eyes and the father has brown eyes can their baby have blue?
Yes.
Are brown eyes dominant or recessive?
Brown eyes are dominant. That's why more people have brown eyes then hazel or blue or green.
Can a green eyed mother and blue eyed father have a brown eyed child?
Yes
How are dominant and recessive traits different?
A dominant trait is the trait that will show. A recessive trait is the trait that is hidden. For example if your mom had brown eyes and your dad has green eyes you would have brown eyes because brown eyes are the dominant trait
How come your dad has blue eyes blond hair mom has hazel brown eyes and one brother has blue eyes blond hair and the other has green eyes blond hair why do you have brown hair and dark brown eyes?
I don't know how much you know about genes, but there are dominant genes and recessive genes, and you only get two genes (a person could get two dominants or two recessives or one dominant and one recessive) To explain it better, here is a scenario:The father has a dominant blue eye gene + a recessive dark brown eye gene and two blond hair genes,While the mother has a dominant blond hair gene + a recessive brown hair gene and has a dominant hazel eye gene and a recessive green eye gene.Those two people have three kids: two have blond hair, one inherits his father's blue eye gene while the other inherits his mother's recessive green eye gene (leading to the first having blue eyes and the second having green eyes), and the last inherits his/her father's recessive dark brown gene and the mother's brown hair gene.If you look at old photographs you might find some grandparents have the same dark brown eyes or brown hair as you.
Brown egg rooster crossed with green egg hen?
first of all, find out what the dominant trait is, green or brown egg, and it is the dominant one.
