It is possible for a child with a brown-eyed parent and a green-eyed parent to have blue eyes if there is the trait for blue eyes in the child's genetics. Such as a grandparent with blue eyes.

Eye color can a child have blue eyes from brown and green eyed parents?

Yes, it's possible for a child to have blue eyes if both parents carry the recessive gene for blue eyes. Eye color is determined by multiple genes, so even if both parents have brown or green eyes, they can still carry the gene for blue eyes and pass it on to their child.


Can a blue eyed parent and a brown eyed parent have a child with green eyes?

There is no way to tell for sure, they could have blue, green, or a mix (blue-green). Its even possible that the mom or dad could have some brown eye genes in the from previous ancestors and the kid could have brown eyes!


Can a brown eye person and green eye person produce a blue eye child?

Yes, it is possible for a brown-eyed individual and a green-eyed individual to have a child with blue eyes. Eye color inheritance involves the mixing of genetic factors, so a child can inherit blue eyes if both parents carry the recessive gene for blue eyes.


Can a blue eyed man and green eyed woman have a brown eyed child?

Yes, but: eye color is not a single trait with brown eyes being dominant over blue eyes. There are at least 8 genes that influence eye color. It is the amount of melanin inside special cells of the iris that give the color of eyes. Caucasian children are usually born with blue eyes but eventually the eye color changes. The case here with a green eyed man in a brown eyed woman, the child would not have truly blue eyes but would have a slight shading of blue. It is thought that all blue-eyed people are related and have a common ancestor somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago.


Can a child get brown eyes if parents' eyes are hazel?

Yes, it is possible for a child to have brown eyes if their parents' eyes are hazel. Hazel eyes are a combination of brown and green eye pigments, so if the child inherits the brown pigment from both parents, they would likely have brown eyes. Eye color is determined by a combination of genetic factors from both parents.

you cannot have a blue eyed boy. unless there is someone in your family that has blue eyes. the brown and green would be either a recessive or dominent trait. traits don't mix together to create different things. like brown and green. brown and green don't even mix to make blue

A person w green eyes and a person w brown eyes what color will the child have?

50% BROWN0% GREEN50% BLUEThe brown gene is dominant but if it also carries a recessive blue gene then they can have a blue eyes babyAnswerSince brown is a dominant gene and blue is the recessive gene, the child will usually have brown eyes. My father had brown eyes and my mother had blue eyes. They had three children: two brown eyes and me a blue green or as some call it grey eyed child. Then my brown eyed sister had a child with a blue eyed man and their son had blue eyes. So you really need to check to see if the brown eyed person has a brown or blue eyed parents. If one parent has blue eyes then yes it would be possible to have a blue eyed child. So the answer may lie with the Grandparents of the brown eyed person having the child. Check to see if one has blue eyes. Hope this wasn't to confusing.You can definitly can have green eyes when one parent has blue eyes and the other has brown. My Mother has brown eyes and my Father has blue eyes and i have green eyes and my twin sister has green eyes and he is definity our father. My brother has blue eyes though.
