What colour eyes and hair will a baby have if the mother has dark brown hair hazel eyes the father has light brown hair and blue eyes?

Answer 1

Blue eyes are recessive to brown eyes. So if the mother is heterozygous for brown eyes then it is possible for the child to have blue eyes. However if the mother is homozygous for brown eyes than the child will have brown eyes. Since both parents are brunettes, the child will definitely have brown hair as well.

Answer 2

It all depends on the genes, but the brown eye gene is more dominant than blue eyes. It also depends on your ethnicity. If you have a brown-blue gene chances are you'll have at least one child with blue or coloured eyes.

Answer 3

The babies eyes will probably be blue. Blue Eyes is a recessive gene (bb) which means neither parent carries the more dominant Brown Eyed gene. So they can only pass on a recessive gene each = blue eyed baby. Normally brown hair is also inherited since both parents have brown hair in this example. However, you may wish to consider if each parent always had brown hair. Many people have light or even blonde hair as a baby and child which later darkens.

Answer 4

This is almost like cooking a new recipe for soup, you just don't know if you will like it until you have cooked it and the same is true for a baby. My friend has light brown hair and blue eyes, her mate was dark brown hair and eyes; the kids (1 male 1 female) were both light brown hair and blue eyes ... in the face of science that says dark hair and dark eyes are predominant genes. Likelihood says that dark genes are predominant, more likely than light colored genes.

Answer 5

It is possible for the baby to have any hair color, because it may receive genes for the recessive trait (blonde hair, or even red hair) in preference to the dominant trait (brown hair). The likelihood is strong that the baby will have blue eyes, since both parents have the recessive gene.

Answer 6

The baby has a 50% chance of inheriting the mother's dark brown hair and hazel eyes, and a 50% chance of inheriting the father's light brown hair and blue eyes. The final combination will depend on which genes are passed on from each parent.

Answer 7

it depends upon mother's father genetic constitution in humans brown eyes are and black hair are dominant characters.
