Yes. There are at least five genes that contribute to eye color. It is quite possible for both parents to have brown eyes (which are dominant) and yet carry other genes that can produce a green-eyed child.

∙ 14y agoYes. Consider the following: Brown eyes is dominant chromosome (B). Green eyes is recessive chromosome (g). Brown eyed man has B and g chromosomes. Brown eyed woman has B and g chromosomes. Possible offspring include BB, Bg, gB, and gg. BB, Bg, and gB will have brown eyes because of the presence of the dominant chromosome. gg will have green eyes, as this child has received the recessive gene from both parents. They could also adopt a green eyed child. There are no laws against two brown eyed parents adopting a green eyed child. If there is any doubt on the identity of the child's father, you can always go on the Maury Povich show.

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.

Can a blue eye man and a brown eye woman make a green eye child?
If either parent has a green-eyed relative, the chances of having a green-eyed child are increased. Also, some combinations of blue and brown eye alleles result in a mixture of the two colors, which can appear green.
If a brown eyed man marries a blue eyed woman and they have ten children all brown eyed can you be certain that the man is homozygous?
No. You cannot prove/disprove homozygosity. You can prove heterozygosity if there was a blue-eyed child, but as long as the couple keeps having brown-eyed children, it cannot be shown whether the man is homozygous.

If a blue-eyed man marries a blue-eyed woman would the child have blue eyes?
It depends on whether either of them is carrying a brown eye trait. If so, their children will have brown eyes. If not, blue eyes are recissive so it will also depend on whether they are heterozigous blue or homozigous blue, if hetero- it is a 50-50 chance, if homo- their child will have blue eyes.
