can two brown eyed people have a blue eyed baby>?

Answer 1

The short answer is that brown-eyed parents can have kids with brown, blue or virtually any other color eyes.

Answer 2

Yes. Brown is the dominant gene, but if both parents also have a recessive blue gene, there is a 1 in 4 chance of producing a blue eyed child. Each person has 2 genes which determine eye color. B = Brown b = Blue. If a B is present, the eyes will be brown, while bb must exist for blue. If a Bb mates with a Bb, there are 4 possible combinations, BB, Bb, bB, or bb

Answer 3

Yes.
Brown eyes are dominate. Which means each parent has that dominate gene. There are two genes for eye color from each parent.
Lets say the father has two brown eye genes and the mother a brown gene and a blue gene. There is no way the baby can have blue eyes because the recessive gene can only be dominate if there are two of them. If there is one brown & one blue , brown always wins

Ok, back to this blue eyed beby from two parents with brown eyes. Each parent gives half of their genetic chain. Both parents would have to of given the child that recessive blue eye gene when the child was concieved when the chain of genes came together in conception.

Answer 4

The really rare thing is two blue eyed having a brown baby because blue is the recessive gene.

Answer 5

Each parent carries 2 genes. Brown is dominant, and blue is recessive, so if each parent has one blue-eyes gene and one brown-eyes gene, they will usually have brown eyes. If each of those parents passes on the recessive blue-eyes gene, the child will have blue eyes.

The recessive genes can travel generations without becoming visible until someone in the family turns up with one recessive from each parent, so even if all 4 grandparents, and the great-grandparents before that, have brown eyes, the child can have blue.

Answer 6

Yes. Although it's not as simple as most of these people are making it seem, as if each parent has only two possibilities of genes for eye color, and you have a 1 in 4 chance or whatever. Human genetics is sooooooooo much more complicated than the pea plants we learned about in high school biology that the idea of humans having only two genes for something this complex is waaaayyyyyy oversimplified. That said, most traits within the human genome are very complex and can show up in your kid even if neither parent displays the trait.

Answer 7

Yes... but they have to have the blue-eyed gene in their family blood line. i.e. Parents or Grandparents with blue eyes. My Dad is blonde haired blue eyed and both of his parents are brown/brown... as are both of his siblings... but my Great Grandmothers were both Blonde with blue eyes.

Answer 8

Yup -- both my husband and I have brown eyes, and our daughter's are blue (and, yes, my husband is the father! LOL).

Both Hubby and I carry a recessive blue-eye gene, and we passed it on to our little girl. That doesn't happen very often, though -- something like a 1 in 4 chance??? (I think. Math was never my strong suit...)

Answer 9

Yes if both parents have the recessive gene for blue eyes.

Answer 10

Yes I do believe so. My husband and I both have brown eyes, and our baby had blue eyes for the longest time until they finally turned hazel.
