Yes.

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.

According to genetics, a baby gets the darkest eye color out of either parent. So yes, he could.

Two blue eyed parents cannot have a brown eyed baby. Parents with blue eyes can only make a blue eyed baby because they both carry the recessive gene.

Can two brown eyes parents produce a blue eyes child?

I don't think two brown eyed parents produce a blue eyed child, but a brown eyed parent and a blue eyed parent can produce a child with blue eyes. Brown eyes are not always dominate.Two brown-eyed parents CAN produce a blue-eyed child if BOTH carry the recessive gene for blue eyes. Recessive means it can hide, but is still present and ready to be carried on to a future generation. Brown eyes ARE dominant. If you carry the gene for brown eyes, your eyes are brown. This does not mean you can't also carry the recessive gene for blue/green eyes.


A person w green eyes and a person w brown eyes what color will the child have?

50% BROWN0% GREEN50% BLUEThe brown gene is dominant but if it also carries a recessive blue gene then they can have a blue eyes babyAnswerSince brown is a dominant gene and blue is the recessive gene, the child will usually have brown eyes. My father had brown eyes and my mother had blue eyes. They had three children: two brown eyes and me a blue green or as some call it grey eyed child. Then my brown eyed sister had a child with a blue eyed man and their son had blue eyes. So you really need to check to see if the brown eyed person has a brown or blue eyed parents. If one parent has blue eyes then yes it would be possible to have a blue eyed child. So the answer may lie with the Grandparents of the brown eyed person having the child. Check to see if one has blue eyes. Hope this wasn't to confusing.You can definitly can have green eyes when one parent has blue eyes and the other has brown. My Mother has brown eyes and my Father has blue eyes and i have green eyes and my twin sister has green eyes and he is definity our father. My brother has blue eyes though.


Can a green eyed man and brown eyed woman have a green eyed daughter?

Yes. Blue eyes are a recessive genetic trait, which means that a brown- or green-eyed person can still carry a gene for blue eyes. In this case, the blue-eyed gene is recessive, or subordinate, to the green- or brown-eyed gene. To be blue-eyed, an individual must have a recessive blue-eyed gene from both its mother and father.


Are there more brown eyed people in the world than blue eyed?

NO. People with blue eyes do NOT have the brown eyed gene, if they did they themselves would have developed brown eyes instead of their blue as it is dominant. So two blue eyed parents can only pass the blue gene to their offspring.


Can a brown eyed man and a green eyed woman have a blue eyed son?

Brown is dominant and Green is somewhere in the middle. There are possibilities that this may occur but without the genes then it is hard to tell. To get blue eyes both parents would need blue eyed recessive genes and the kid would have to receive both those recessive genes which is very rare. In this case blue eyes is not a sex-linked gene so its possible the the male and female with have a female with blue eyes. Most likely the child will have brown eyes though. This is because if the son does get the recessive from the mother, but gets the dominant from the father, the dominant will overpower the recessive and the son will just be another blue eye gene carrier and himself have brown eyes.

Blue eyed father brown eyed mother blue eyed grandfather of the father what color eye will offspring have?

Brown. My sister and I both have brown eyes. My grandparents on my fathers side and my grandmother on my mothers side were all blue eyed. My mother and her father had brown eyes. The genes for brown eyes are more dominant.


What is the phenotype of the child if the father has brown eyes and mother has blue eyes assuming a complete dominence and recessive relationship between brown eyes and blue eyes?

If assuming that the dominance relationship is that the brown eyed gene is dominant over the blue eyed gene. Then the child's phenotype should be brown eyes.


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.


Can brown eyed dad and hazel eyed mother make blue eyed baby?

Yes, absolutely. Hazel eyes is the combination of the blue and brown eye color gene. For instance, a blue eyed mother and brown eyed father could have a hazel eye colored child. So that means all hazel eyed children can have a brown eyed child because they carry the brown eyed gene in their DNA from their father, in this case.
