Chromosome 19 has a blue/green gene. Chromosome 15 has a brown/blue gene. The genetics of eye color are more complex than realized previously, and more than one gene is involved in determining eye color.

Blue eyes are a recessive trait, while brown eyes are dominant. If both parents are heterozygous for brown eyes, it means they both carry the recessive trait for blue eyes, and so there is a 25% chance their offspring will be blue-eyed.

Is it rare to have a dad with blue and a mom with brown and yours be blue?

Blue eyes are known to be a recessive genetic trait, or a trait that is not commonly found. Because your dad has blue eyes, it means that he also has the "blue eye" trait in his gene. An offspring (you in this case) can get that same "blue eye" trait as well as traits from your mom. Although it is more common to get other dominant trait, such as brown, you got blue. I wouldn't say it is rare but it is definitely uncommon.


Are blue eyes more dominant than brown eyes?

No, brown eyes are more dominant than blue eyes genetically. Brown eye color is a dominant trait, while blue eye color is a recessive trait. This means that if a person has one gene for blue eyes and one gene for brown eyes, the brown eye gene will be expressed.


Why do huskies have blue eyes?
