Past theory was no, it is not possible. But that is the past. Better understanding is that genetically it is very possible.

Real world example: My daughter has deep brown eyes. Her husband has deep brown eyes. The only people in there immediate families who have anything other than brown or brownish eyes are me, her husband's father, and my son and other daughter. Yet, their child was born with brilliantly blue eyes, that today, six years later remain the same brilliant blue. It is not only possible, it is quite probable. If the genes exist, they can manifest.

Can a blue eyed mom and dad have a brown eyed baby?

Yes, it is possible for a blue-eyed mother and father to have a brown-eyed baby. Eye color is a complex trait influenced by multiple genes, so offspring can inherit a combination of eye colors from their parents. Brown eyes are a dominant trait, so if both parents carry a recessive gene for brown eyes, their child could have brown eyes.


If a brown-eyed mother and a blue-eyed father have four children three will probably have brown eyes. What can you conclude from this?

Brown eyes are dominant traits


Can two hybrid blue eyed people have a brown eyed baby?

Yes, it is possible for two hybrid blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed child if both parents carry a recessive brown-eyed gene. Eye color is determined by multiple genes, so the outcome can vary.


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.


Dad has brown eyes mom has hazel eyes can they have a blue eyed baby?

The greater majority (around 98%) of all new born's are born with blue eyes. You really can't tell because genes are pretty random For the answer stated above, it is obviously only true for Caucasian infants of course. Almost all infants of African, Indian, or Asian decent would obviously be brown. But with regards to the original question, the answer depends on the genetics of the brown-eyed father. If he has two brown alleles, than most likely the baby will also have brown eyes. However, if the father has one brown allele and one blue allele (and thus phenotypically brown-eyed, as brown is dominant), it is certainly possible for the baby to have blue eyes (receiving one blue allele from the father, and one blue allele from the mother...if in fact the mother is blue-green hazel). Mendelian genetics, in this case, would approximate 25% of the babies to be born blue-eyed.

Can a two blue eyed parents have a brown eyed baby?

maybe


What is the likelihood of having a brown eyed baby if both mother and father are blond and blue eyed?

Zero. Blue eyes come from a recessive gene (brown eyes come from a dominant gene). So two blue-eyed parents have only blue-eye genes in them. Therefore, they can pass only blue-eye genes to their baby.
