You do carry the gene. But, brown overpowers most colors so it is more likely your children will have brown eyes. Lets say you have 4 children. 3 of them will mostly likely have brown eyes. 1 of your children will most likely have hazel eyes. (This is all circumstantial. But this is what happens on average.) Two of your children (Including hazel eyes) might carry the gene.

This is sorta like the birthing of children. If everything worked out like above, you would be able to plan how many girls and boys you would have. But this could easily change. All of your children might have brown eyes, or you might have 3 children with hazel. it all depends.

-Actually, if hazel eyes are recessive, it's difficult to tell, since if both parents have brown eyes then it's possible for your parents to have given you both dominant alleles, as the parent on your uncles side may not even have it since they are in the same situation. the odds are 75% that that parent has the hazel gene, but you can't be 100% positive. And if they do have it, there's only a 50% chance it would be passed on to you.

If you carry the recessive gene of eyes that change from hazel to gray and you have brown eyes and your spouse has hazel eyes what eye color can the baby have?

They can be ANY color. It depends on your parents eyes too. It depends on how the genes are gonna work.


If your uncle has eyes that change from hazel to gray and you have brown eyes and both of your parents have brown eyes do you have that as a recessive trait hazel eyes that change to gray eyes?

Yes, it is possible for you to have inherited the hazel eyes trait from your uncle as a recessive gene. Hazel eyes are a result of a combination of different eye color genes, where the presence of the hazel trait may be recessive in your family. However, eye color inheritance can be complex and influenced by multiple genes.


If you have brown eyes and black hair and you carry two recessive traits of reddish brown hair and of eyes that change from hazel to gray and your mate has hazel eyes and brown hair describe the baby?

You (A) have brown eyes and black hair. Those are 2 dominant traits. However you are heterogeneous. A traits of red (well, I know it's reddish brown, but for all intents and purposes, it's red), and a trait of hazel/gray. Both are recessive.Now, your mate (B) has hazel eyes (recessive), and brown hair. Brown hair is dominant, so your mate could be heterogeneous (as in, one dominant, one recessive), or homogenous (two dominant). Let's map out a Punnett square for this.Eyes - there are 7 genes that make up eye color, so this is only a rough approximation.A - TtB - ttRemember, recessive genes only show up if there's two. So, let's see.You can have the combinations of: Tt, Tt, tt, tt. So you have a 50% chance of hazel eyes, 50% brown. That ISN'T, however, to say that if you have 4 kids, 2 will be brown eyed and 2 will be hazel eyed. It randomizes each time.Hair - another rough guess - first squareA: TtB: TTNow, hair genes are a little weird because both black and brown are dominant. If, say, your mate is homogeneous, as I've guessed, then your kid will have black or brown hair, but a higher chance of brown since there are two genes.Hair - second square A: TtB: TtIf your mate is heterogenous, well, the same thing happens. Your kid will have black or brown hair with an equal chance, UNLESS the recessive gene (t) happens to be red hair. Then, your possibilities are TT, Tt, Tt, tt. 75% chance for black or brown hair, 25% for red.


If both parents have light brown eyes what colour eyes will the baby have?

My husband and I both have dark brown eyes. There are eyes of blue, green, hazel and brown on both our sides of the family. Our firstborn has blue eyes. Our second born has dark brown eyes. Our third and last born has hazel eyes.


Can two brown eyed parents make a hazel colored child. My eyes are amber and light brown... The more rare colored hazel?

Yes, that depends what colour eyes the child's grandparents have and the pigment called melanin present in the iris. Melanin may or may not be genetically determined.Yes. Even if they have hazel eyes, the could still carry the gene for blue eyes, which could then be passed down to their child.

What if your uncle has hazel eyes and your other uncle has gray eyes and you have brown eyes can you carry both recessive traits hazel eyes and gray eyes at the same time?

You can only carry one recessive trait.


What if the parents have brown eyes and the offspring has green or hazel?

Then the parents carried the gene for green eyes as a recessive gene.


Can a brown eyed mom and a brown eyed dad make a hazzle eyed baby?

because hazel is recessive, and brown is dominant. meaning that brown overrules hazel, but hazel is still there in at least one of the parents' genetic make up. then the hazel can show up later.

What color eyes will child have if the father has brown eyes and the mother has green eyes?

Brown is the most dominate color. (Brown is stronger than green, blue an hazel.) but that doesn't mean your child will have brown eyes just cause you do. if you 'carry' any other eye color as a recessive gene (ie: one of your parents or grand parents had a different color than brown) you could pass that gene and he could pass the green my mom had brown hazel eyes and my dad had dark brown I have blue/gold hazel I have grandparents on both side that had blue eyes so i believe my mom gave me her recessive hazel trait that causes colors to mix and my dad must have carried a recessive blue gene. If you're a dark skin tone it's more likely you won't carry a color besides brown in your genes but it's always possibleNote: There are comments associated with this question.

Can two blue eye parents have a child with hazel eyes?

Two blue eyed parents cannot have a brown eyed baby. Since both parents carry the recessive gene (blue eyes) then there is no way that they can have a brown eyed baby. Hello, different person here. The said HAZEL eyes, not brown. :I Hello, original person here. I know what they said. Hazel is a shade of BROWN. 😒


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 brown eyes and brown eyes make hazel eyes?

yes depending on the recessive genes.


Can you think of a way that two people with brown eyes can have a child with blue eyes?

If parents both have the recessive genes. Say, Mom has Bx gene where B is gene for brown eyes and x is the recessive gene. Because Brown is dominant, the appearance of B always produces Brown eyes. Now if Dad has same recessive gene, Bx, (brown eyes again), they can have a child with xx (recessive from both parents) and this can equal blue, gree, hazel, etc. It means the parents, in their genealogy, had a relative with this eye color. Hope this helps or clear enough.


What color will babies eyes be if dad has hazel eyes and mom has greenish blue eyes?

Well hazel eyes are a recessive trait, so that doesn't mean you will necessarily have a child with hazel eyes. For instance, what color eyes did your parents have?you carry those genes, so it could affect your child. I am not certain, but if i could make an educated guess, there would be a 50% chance that your child would have hazel eyes. (:
