Inheritance chart? How to find out what eye color your child would be?

Question

I remember a chart like this in my old science class that was so long ago. Do you know the name of the chart or a website where I could find out the percentages of what eye color a child I have with my boyfriend would be? I thought it would be interesting to find out.

My eyes are dark brown and so are my mom and dads.
His are light blue, his moms are brown and his dads are green.

Answer 1

Here are some sites with charts and information

Your children will most likely have hazel or green eyes. To have blue eyes, your boyfriend has inherited the recessive genes from his dad and mum, both of whom were obviously heterozygotes. You, on the other hand, could be either homozygous for brown eyes (most likely) or hetero (not likely with both parents having dark brown eyes - but still possible). Eye colour, like skin colour, is multifactorial, so your baby could be anything. If you are a heterozygote, then there is a small possibility that your child will have blue eyes, so don't look too surprised if this happens. If you are homozygous, then your child will have somewhere in-between from brown, hazel or green.

To be honest you won't be able to predict what you baby will look like I have two daughters that are 75% white and 25% black and one of them have a light brown skin, brown eyes, and brown soft straight hair, while the other has white skin, grey/blue eyes, and curly soft blond hair. There are so many genes that the smallest change could make your baby have red hair when you and your spouse don't even have red hair, but someone 3 generations back ended up having red hair, which gave it to your baby. Hope this helps

Answer 5

Dark brown eyes are dominant to well, all other types of eye colour. If i'm not wrong.

Blue eyes are the most recessive.

Therefore, if both your genes for eyes are dark brown, all your kids will have dark brown eyes.

I think you're looking for either the Genetic Diagram or the Punnets Square.

Answer 6

1 out of 4 of your children will have hazel eyes....the rest of them brown. Blue eyes is a recessive gene and brown eyes are from a dominant gene!

Answer 7

I believe that all depends on your gene's. Are you reffering to something called the Punnett Square? ...it's a bit complicated and the odds aren't exactly always right.

A better suggestion: Try google :)
