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.

Yes, if they have a brown eyed gene, because the brown eyed gene dominates the blue eyed gene, leaving you with either a green eyed child or a brown eyed child. I hope that has helped

Yes. But that would not be likely at all.

Hope this helps :)

Do blue and green eyes can make brown?

No. Blue eyes come from a recessive gene from each parent. The child must of 2 recessive gene pairs to have blue eyes (which is actually the lack of eye pigment). So a brown eyed parent and a green eyed parent may have a blue eyed child if both pass on a recessive blue eye gene, but if just one dominant brown or green eyed gene is passed along it will trump the recessive blue eyed gene and the child will have brown or 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.


What colour eyes will my child have if one parent has blond hair and blue eyes and one parent has green eyes and blond hair?

There are dominant and recessive genes- according to popular theory, a brown/blond pair of alleles will have a dominant brown allele, but a recessive blond allele- dominant meaning: a person with a brown/blond allele or brown/brown allele will turn out brown, a person with blond/blond allele will turn out blond.Since both parents in this case are blond, they'd technically have a blond child as there is no dominant gene interfering. BUT if they were both brunettes, they could still have a blond child.Red hair is different- see "Genetics" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_color Depending on the genetics of the mother and father themselves, the child will either have blue eyes if the green-eyed parent has a blue-eyed parent (probably, not 100% of course) and green eyes if the green-eyed parent has 100% green genes so to speak. See: http://www.athro.com/evo/inherit.htmlEye colour is not fully mapped out so it's more a game of probabilities.


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 child has brown hair and brown eyes His father has brown hair and blue eyes His mother has red hair and brown eyes The best explanation for the child having brown hair and brown eyes is that?

the child received genetic information from each parent.

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 2 brown eyed parents produce a green eyed child?

Well, both of my parents had brown eyes. Out of 11 kids 3 had brown and the rest of us had blue.Come to think of it, the mailman and the milkman had blue eyes.


What colour will the child's eyes be if one parent has brown eyes and the other parent has blue eyes?

Brown, blue, or a mixture making a grayish blueish brown!


Can a blue eyed parent and a brown eyed parent have a child with green eyes?

There is no way to tell for sure, they could have blue, green, or a mix (blue-green). Its even possible that the mom or dad could have some brown eye genes in the from previous ancestors and the kid could have brown eyes!


How can a green eyed parent and a brown eye parent have blue eyed children?

I can not insure the accuracy of this but using the punnett Square calculator on this website: www.changbioscience.com/genetics/punnett.html theoretically a child with a green eyed parent and a brown eyed parent (not hazel) you would have a 50% chance of having a child with grey eyes (which look blueish) and a 50% chance of having a child with hazel eyes. These are the genotypes for eye colours that you can use to have a go your self: EEEEEEEE Black Eyes EEEEEEEe Brown Eyes EEEEEEee Hazel Eyes EEEEEeee Grey Eyes EEEEeeee Amber Eyes EEEeeeee Blue-Green EEeeeeee Green


Does cross over inheritance occur when one blue eyed blonde hair parent and one brown eyed brown hair parent have a blue eyed brown hair child?

What color would your eyes be if your parents have different eye color?

if your parents have different color eyes: if eyes are not brown, no brown gene lets say one green other brown. green parent may have green/blue gene. brown parent may have brown/green gene. your eyes might be blue. 1/4 chance of it.


Can a brown eyed man and a brown eyed woman have a blue eyed child?

Brown unless the mothers parent has blue eyes. Some cases are very different. It really depends on how many children the parents have or are planning to have. Most of the children will have brown eyes in this case. 1 out of 4 will have either blue or a green pigment. If the parent has only 1-3 children it is highly likey that their eyes will be brown instead of blue/green. This is not 100% that any of the children will have blue/green even if there were 8 children. It depends on how the gene "deals the hand of cards" to each individual child. Its more like a 65-75% chance that 1 out of 4 will have a blue/green eye color. If lucky the first child could very well have blue/green eyes, but the possibility is very slim.


What color will the baby's eyes be if the mom has brown eyes and the dad has blue eyes?

If the baby gets a brown eye gene from one parent and a blue eye gene from the other parent, the child will likely have brown eyes because brown is dominant over blue. Or if the brown eyed parent has a blue recessive gene and the baby gets it then that child will have 2 blue eye genes and will have blue eyes. Of course there could be other recessive genes of other colors so the child could have hazel or green too. This is my basic understanding of how it works.


Do blue and green eyes can make brown?

No. Blue eyes come from a recessive gene from each parent. The child must of 2 recessive gene pairs to have blue eyes (which is actually the lack of eye pigment). So a brown eyed parent and a green eyed parent may have a blue eyed child if both pass on a recessive blue eye gene, but if just one dominant brown or green eyed gene is passed along it will trump the recessive blue eyed gene and the child will have brown or green eyes.

If mother have green eyes and father has dark brown eyes grandmother has blue eyes and grandfather has brown eyes what color might the child have?

The child could have green eyes, dark brown eyes, or blue eyes based on the genetic combinations of the eye color alleles inherited from the parents and grandparents. The specific outcome would depend on the exact combination of alleles passed down to the child.
