Answer 1

This frequently happens in families - it's the old "throwback/jump one" effect, but very annoying when your friends and neighbours casually ask the hair and eye colour of your window cleaner and milkman! If I were you, make a huge joke out of it - it's an even better joke of your wife tells people that they aren't hers ! Enjoy your fine family and ignore those you think mean offence or make snide remarks as opposed to those who you KNOW make their comments with no malice intended.

Answer 2

Brown eyes are the strongest gene but you can still have a child with blue eyes. What is very rare indeed is if both parents have blue eyes and a child does not. Normally blue eyed parents pass the eye colour on to their children.

Answer 3

Both of my parents had very dark brown, almost black, hair and dark eyes. Both my brother and I have red hair. He has green eyes and mine are a pale bluish gray. My grandmother, 2 of my uncles, and 1 of my aunts have red hair, so it was just a recessive gene my mother was carrying. This sort of thing happens every day. If you don't like the hair/eye color of these kids just make another one! lol

Also your sons are fraternal twins, not identical, which means they came from 2 separate eggs and 2 separate sperm instead of one egg & sperm that split into 2 embryos. Identical twins even have fingerprints that are mirror images of eachothers. How cool is that?

Answer 4

Hello,stop right there ok,they are your two boy's.
my dad is white and so is my mum white and my younger sister is white to but i am brown and the only brown in 3 generation's to come out to my whole family,and trust me i went behind my mum and dad's back and got a dna test and know what i was there own flesh and blood put to gether.
do they look alike,forget the hair and eye's do they look alike,is all that matter's.if you think your wife is done the dirty on you forget it.it's not possible ok.she love's you too much to hurt you where it hurt's the most ok.#so get a hold of your self before it's too late.
all the best and get the tele fixed cause you don't want more kid's so fast.all the luck in the world.

Answer 5

They are fraternal twins, rather than identitical twins. Fraternal twins are conceived by separate eggs and spems at the same time, as opposed to identical twins who are conceived from the same egg and sperm. So fraternal twins are not identical.

The differences are due to normal genetical interchanges, most likely recessive genes. Often, you have to have two of the "blond genes" for the traits that it codes for to show up. So your blond boy got one from you and one from your wife, and has two of these. Your other kid might have gotten either two "brown genes"--one from you and one from your wife, or one "brown" and one "blond", and the overall look is due to the dominance of brown.

Answer 6

first, they are 100% fraternal twins...
second, you can have dark hair & eyes and carry recessive genes for the blonde hair and blue eyes. your dark traits are dominant, so the blonde/blue is "hidden". both you and your wife must have some recessive genes for these traits (from your parents, etc) for them to show up in your children. if your wife had all ancestors with brown eyes/hair, she would not have these recessive genes and her dominant traits would show in all of your children. they would 'overpower' any recessive traits you might have. hair and eye color are separate genes, so your children can have any combination of the brown/blue/blonde! how exciting! genetics is not as simple as the punnett square seems.

Answer 7

Ummm.....Check your Wife?

No just kidding. It's because you and your wife have the recessive gene for blond hair blue eyes. Basically you have 50% of the gene and so dose your wife. And when you have more kids like 2 more one of them will have the same outcome...

Answer 8

My daughter has green eyes and her husband has dark brown, their 2 year old son has silver-blue, it is all genetics.

Answer 9

Dont worry about things like that. Just be thankful they are BOTH healthy & make sure they are good kids when they grow up.
Have a great life with them.

Answer 10

for me it depends upon the girl. Like I might see a girl with black hair and think she is totally hot but see a girl with blond tresses that is meh and vice versa.
