I'm white with green eyes my husband is black with black eyes what colour eyes will my baby have?

Question

His greatgrandparents where white...

Answer 1

What an interesting mix - well done. Your child will no doubt be born with blue eyes - the majority of babies are. But I wouldn't be surprised if they went dark, if not black as this is probably the more dominant gene colour. Only guessing though.

I would be really interested in finding out myself now!!!

All the best.

Answer 2

First, some general information.

Eye colour, like skin colour, is multi-factorial - it uses several genetic loci.
There are many shades of colour which still look blue, and many shades of colour which still look brown. Most people have a blend of both, but the brown is most noticeable.
That being said, eye colour, again like skin colour, is most likely going to be influenced by the parents' colour. The chances are, that if both parents have blue eyes, then there are not many brown-eye genes around, and their child will have blue or pale eyes, not brown. If both parents have dark brown eyes, then chances are, the child's eyes will be brown. If they have light brown eyes, then the child's eye colour is less certain.
Going from more blue genes to least, eye colours are:

Pale blue
Blue
Green
Hazel
Brown
Dark Brown
(there are uncommon variations within all these, like "Purple")

In your case, you have a mixture of brown and blue, that is, green eyes. Your husband, having very dark brown eyes. probably has no blue colour genes at all.
This being the case, Your child will probably have brown eyes, but possibly green or hazel

Sorry if this is confusing, but there doesn't seem anyway to simplify it.

Answer 3

in view that brown is the dominant gene, your infant will maximum probable have brown eyes. If the two your husband's father or your husband's mom has eco-friendly eyes, then there's a 25% risk your infant would have eco-friendly eyes (by way of fact this implies your husband is donning a recessive gene for eco-friendly eyes).

Answer 4

Using a pennet square...lets say
B=black
b=green

Now B is always dominant over b...so if theres a B gene than the baby will have black eyes.

...To continue I would need to know your parents and his parents eye color...then I can give you the exact chances of what color the babys eyes will be.

P.S.
Eyes are not codominant, nor are they incomplete dominance, so the eyes will be one or the other. Your babys skin will be subject to incomplete dominance.

Answer 5

Depends what genes the baby inherits. Most baby's start off with blue eyes though and then they change colour.

Answer 6

for one there is no such thing as black eyes there are dark brown or brown eyes. and nobody cant really tell you what color eyes your baby will have. it depends on which trait is dominant and recessive and you would have to look at DNA which will take time and money that you dont want to pay just to be curious.

Answer 7

It could be anything; green eyed people usually carry a hidden gene for blue eyes and dark eyed people sometimes do, so it could get blue from both of you, green from either of you, or brown or black from him.

Answer 8

Okay your husbands eyes are dark (black/brown) which means he is either BB or Bb

You have green eyes (recessive) which we shall denote with "b" and you are homozygous for the recessive gene so you are bb

If your husband is BB your baby will have dark (brown/black) eyes

If your husband is Bb your baby has 50% chance of dark eyes and 50% chance of green eyes depending on which gene he passes on.

Father-B--b
Mother
b-------Bb-bb
b-------Bb-bb
--------/--------\
Dark eyes, Light eyes

Answer 9

Hazel

Answer 10

most babies are born with blue eyes which then change at around 3-6 months. my children all have different shades of blue eyes while i have green.
