no they cannot because if you have blue eyes, your alleles are bb, and so... bb and bb have no B, and therefore, with no dominant gene, there cannot be a brown eyed child.

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 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 blue eyed man and a brown eyed woman make a blue eyed kid?

Theoretically, a blue eyed man and a blue eyed woman cannot produce a brown-eyed child. The reason is that neither parent carries the brown-eyed gene. If the father or mother did carry the brown-eyed gene, the eyes/irises of that parent would be brown. The gene for brown is dominant over the gene for blue. However, two brown eyed parents can produce a blue eyed child. In that case, each parent with brown eyes must carry the gene for blue - the parents' eyes are brown because the brown gene is dominant over the blue gene. However, if the child inherits a blue gene from both brown eyed parents, the result will be blue eyes although both parents have brown eyes. In the case of one parent with brown eyes and one parent with blue eyes, there is a possibility that the parent with brown eyes possesses the non-dominant blue gene. If the child inherits the blue gene from that brown eyed parent, the child's eyes will be blue since the gene from the other parent with blue eyes will be blue. There is a condition known as heterochromia iridis where one eye is brown and one eye is blue. This condition is usually pathological on a neurogenic or inflammatory basis with the abnormality usually being in the lighter/ blue eye. Acquired heterochromia iridis that develops in an adult may suggest a melanoma of the iris in the brown eye.


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.


Can a blue eyed parent and a brown eyed parent have blue eyed children?

The blue eyed parents may have heterozygous genotypes with the dominant gene and recessive gene for blue and brown eyes respectively. During segregation of gametes, their is a likelihood that their child may inherit the recessive genes from both parents. Consequently, their child will have brown eyes.

How is it possible for two brown-eyed parents to have a blue-eyed child?

It is possible for two brown-eyed parents to have a blue-eyed child if both parents carry a recessive gene for blue eyes. When these recessive genes are passed on to the child, they can combine to produce the trait of blue eyes, even if the parents themselves have brown eyes.


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

Can two brown eyed parents have a blue eyed baby even if no one in the family is blue eyed?

I believe so, if both the parents have recessive alleles for blue 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)

Could two blue-eyed parents have a brown-eyed child?

GeneticsYes, it's possible for a pair of blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed offspring. It all depends on each parent's genotype, and which trait comes from the dominant or recessive allele.

Mendelian inheritance is it possible for two brown eyed parents to have a blue eyed child?

Yes, because blue is recessive

Is it possible for blue eyed parents to have a brown eyed baby?

Yes, buy only if the parents are heterozygous for the trait and if the trait is dominant.
