What color eye's will my baby have?

Question

If I have light blue eyes and my husband has hazel eyes witch one is more dominant?

Answer 1

From my experience, it can go either way. I have blue eyes. My three older children have brown eyes, as does their father. My youngest daughter has bright blue eyes, but my husband's eyes are a hazel color.

Answer 2

It could go either way as I have 3 children and 2 have brown eyes & 1 has blue eyes, parents both have brown eyes. There is a lot of blue eyes on both side of the family. Brown eyes are dominant.

Answer 3

I KNOW brown is dominant, but since neither of you have brown, it would be hard to know what color eyes your baby would have, without knowing your and your husbands chromosomal make up. I have three kids, no brown eyes on either side, oldest has hazel eyes, middle has BLUE and youngest has hazel also.

Answer 4

It's hard to say.

Eye color is an inherited trait influenced by more than one gene. There seem to be three genotypic eye colors (brown, green, and blue) in humans. Although it was once thought that brown eye color was always dominant and blue eye color was always recessive, the fact that two blue-eyed parents can give birth to a brown-eyed child has shown that the determination of eye color does not follow the simple rules of Mendelian inheritance. Three gene pairs coding for human eye color are currently known: EYCL1, EYCL2, and EYCL3.

Answer 5

Ah, genes. You have two genes for eye color and so does your husband. You each contribute one of your genes to the baby. Because you have blue eyes (the most recessive gene for eye color which means basically the weakest), you have 2 blue eyed genes. (BB-blue, blue) Your husband COULD have a recessive blue eyed gene that wouldn't show since his hazel eye gene is "stronger" . He would be HB (Hazel, Blue) then. If he has a recessive blue eyed gene (does one of his parents or grandparents have blue eyes?) then your child COULD have blue eyes. These are the combinations possible then
HB (hazel eyes) BB (blue eyes). Pretty much a 50% chance. If your husband has HH (hazel, hazel) then your child would be 100% HB (hazel, blue) which would be hazel eyes. If your husband was hazel, green (HG) your child could be hazel or green eyed only (HB or GB). Brown eyes are not possible since they are the strongest and neither of you exhibit them. My husband and I both have green eyes but we each had a parent with blue eyes so we had a blue recessive gene. We were each then GB. So our combinations were GG (green eyes), GB (Green eyes), BG (green eyes), and BB (Blue eyes). Giving our
children a 75% chance for green eyes (a 25% chance for blue eyes). One of our 3 biological children has blue eyes. Fits the statistics prettey well. By the way, most European descent children are born with blue eyes and you may not be sure of the true eye color until the baby is a year old.

Answer 6

Truthfully, the baby's eyes could go either way, I have Hazel and my husband has blue, my daughter who is 7, has Hazel eyes and my son who is 2, has blue. It just depends.

Answer 7

It really don't matter about that cause it can go as far has into the family because my husband and I both have brown eyes and our son has blue eyes

Answer 8

I would say it can go either way. I have blue eyes and my husband has dark brown eyes. My daughter's eyes are dark brown just like my husbands.

Answer 9

Everyone can give their opinions or suggestions but until the baby comes you will not know the color of the eyes. That shouldn't even be a concern right now, you just want a healthy baby.

Answer 10

Your baby could end up with brown eyes or green eyes. You and/or your husband may have a recessive gene playing a role in your eye color. Your baby's eye color will be determined by which genes end up as dominant and recessive in his/her unique genetic code.
