Possibly possible, so to speak.

It is not completely known the number of genes that produce eye color, but it is well known that brown eye color is probably a dominant gene, since a majority of all people have them. OCA2 and HERC2 are the most possible main genes for eyes, but are complex so the dominant and recessive genes can't be displayed as just Bb or BRbr. If either of the parent's parents' have brown eyes, or really anyone in the family does, then there is a possibility to. There is a chance for the child to be born with practically any eye color, but there is a good chance that they will be brown.

TL;DR: Any color is possible, and there is an about 50/50 chance they will be brown, since there are more blue eyed people, but brown is more dominant.

P.S. TL;DR means: Too long; Didn't read.

Can to blue eyed parents have brown eyed children?

Yes, it is possible for two blue-eyed parents to have children with brown eyes if both parents are carriers of the brown eye gene. Eye color is determined by multiple genes, so variations can occur in offspring even if both parents have the same eye color.


If you crossed a homozygous dominant man with brown eyes with a homozygous recessive woman with blue eyes what color or colors would their children have?

I don't know what your scientific terms mean, but I can tell you that I am a blue eyed female (my father was brown eyed/my mother had hazel eyes). The father of my two children is brown eyed. Both of my children have blue eyes.


If a man had black hair and blue eyes and the woman had blond hair blue eyes can the child come out with brown eyes blond hair if the grandmother had brown eyes?

Blue eyes are a recessive trait. If at least one of the parents had a blue/hazel eyes with a mixture of blue and brown, then the couple's offspring could have brown eyes. If both parents had solid blue eyes, neither would have the dominant brown gene to pass to the baby, and it would have blue eyes, regardless of the grandmother's eye color.


Can Blue eyes plus green eyes make dk brown eyed children?

Yes, it is possible for blue-eyed and green-eyed parents to have dark brown-eyed children if both parents carry the genetic trait for brown eyes. Eye color inheritance is complex, as it is determined by multiple genes that can interact in various ways.


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

Yes, because your genes have both dominant and recessive traits, so you may have 1 blue and 1 brown and your wife may have 1 blue and 1 brown and (and this is gross simplification) when your genes combine if even one of your brown traits gets passed onto the child it will have brown eyes.

How can this be possible where the couple has brown eyes and the child can have blue eyes?

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.


If brown eyed Karen marries a blue-eyed man even though her father had blue eyes what color teyes will her children have?

There is no way to actually predict the answer. You an figure the "odds" of Karen having blue eyed children, but not actually predict the outcome. For example In a family where 3 out of 4 grandparents had blue eyes and 1 of 2 parents had blue eyes - the couple had two children, both of which had brown eyes. Another couple with the same statistics had one child with blue eyes. Another couple with the same statistics had 2 blue eyed children. The "Odds" are dependent on a concept called recessive and dominant genes. The gene for blue eyes is "recessive". Which means a baby must get 1 gene for blue eyes from BOTH parents in order to have blue eyes. Because 1 parent has brown eyes, we know that parent has at least 1 dominant brown eyed gene. So one parent has Br b combo (BR=brown b=blue). The other parent has blue eyes so has a b b combination. Of course, the brown eyed parent may have two brown eyed genes and no blue eyed genes. Go figure. Any way, the chances of having a blue eyed baby is slimmer than having a brown eyed baby. How you get a green eyed baby.....I don't know. Finally - some consolation: All babies are born with blue eyes, so while it may be short lived, enjoy it while it lasts

Can green eyed woman and brown eyed man have blue eyed children?

Yes, it's possible. My sister & her husband are this same combination and both of their daughters have blue eyes. Also my friend and her husband both have brown eyes and 1 of their 3 kids has blue.


Iam African American with brown eyes my boyfriend is caucasian with blue eyes what color eyes will your children have?

Mostly brown, as blue eyes is recessive trait. So unless both have blue eyes it is very difficult to see.

What is the genotype of the father if both parents have brown eyes and the children have blue?

A simple way to demonstrate the possibilities of the eye color of the offspring is to divide the potential outcomes into four categories, pairing two chromosomes into each. The outcome is three to one that the child will have brown eyes.

Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes in humans The genetic makeup of blue-eyed children who have brown-eyed parents must be?

B (dominant) is for brown and b (recessive) is for blue. If both parents have brown eyes, for them to have a blue-eyed child their genotypes (the combination of b's) must both be Bb, because they both need to provide a little b (to have blue eyes you must be double recessive (bb)). This is worked out using a Punnett Square. (example: https://mcglynn-bioreview4.wikispaces.com/file/view/basicpunnetsquare.jpg)

Will brown and blue make black?

If you use a dark brown and blue probably. If one or both are lighter than probably not.
