if you go back to the beginning of your family tree, maybe a family member had brown eyes

brown eyes is a dominate trait and blue eyes is a recessive trait, even tho they may both show the recessive trait they may both poses the brown eyes dominate trait and pass it onto you and you will show it. as the name implies you are more likely to show the dominate trait (75% chance dominate and 255 chance recessive). interestingly enough this means that you do have the recessive blue eye trait but you do not show it.

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.


Can a blue eyed male with both his parents having blue eyes marries a brown eyed female with her mother having blue eyes and her father having brown eyes could they have a brown eyed child?

Yes, it is possible for a blue-eyed male and a brown-eyed female to have a brown-eyed child. Eye color is a polygenic trait, meaning it is influenced by multiple genes. Both parents can carry genes for brown eyes, and if those genes are passed on to the child, they can have brown eyes even if neither parent has brown eyes.


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.


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.

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 two brown eyes parents produce a blue eyes child?

I don't think two brown eyed parents produce a blue eyed child, but a brown eyed parent and a blue eyed parent can produce a child with blue eyes. Brown eyes are not always dominate.Two brown-eyed parents CAN produce a blue-eyed child if BOTH carry the recessive gene for blue eyes. Recessive means it can hide, but is still present and ready to be carried on to a future generation. Brown eyes ARE dominant. If you carry the gene for brown eyes, your eyes are brown. This does not mean you can't also carry the recessive gene for blue/green eyes.


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.


Can 2 brown eyed parents produce a green eyed child?

Well, both of my parents had brown eyes. Out of 11 kids 3 had brown and the rest of us had blue.Come to think of it, the mailman and the milkman had blue eyes.

What are the specifics about the genetics for two blue eyed people to have a brown eyed baby?

It is impossible for a baby to have brown eyes if both of his parents have blue eyes since the brown eye gene is more dominant.

Can both parents have blue eyes and have a brown eyed baby?

No... Brown eyes are an dominating gene. If none off the parents have brown eyes none of them have the brown eye gene to give the child.


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)
