What eye color and hair color of a mixed kid?

Question

I have black hair and dark brown eyes, while my bf has blondey brown hair and blue eyes, what eye colors of our mixed kid? If the child is passed with 1 "off" brown color gene from me and 1 blue gene from my bf, will it become blue? cuz i know blue is the recessive trait

Answer 1

Eye colour, like hair colour, is multi-factorial - it uses several genetic loci and the simple dominant/recessive rules of inheritance do not apply to hair, eye and skin colour for that reason.
There are many shades of eye colour which still look blue, and many shades of colour which still look brown. Similarly with blonde hair/ brown hair. Most people have a blend of both, but the brown is most noticeable.
That being said, eye colour, again like hair 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, or one has brown, the other blue, 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")

(You could make up a similar list for hair colour)

In your case, you may well have only brown genes for both eyes and hair. Your BF, having light brown hair, probably has a mixture of brown and blonde hair genes. His eye colour suggests that he has mainly blue eye genes.

So your baby could be anything, most likely brown hair, brown or hazel eyes.



Simple as that.

Answer 2

Eye color is an inherited trait influenced by more than one gene. In humans, three loci associated with eye color are currently known: EYCL1, EYCL2, and EYCL3. These genes account for three phenotypic eye colors (brown, green, and blue) in humans. Eye color is demanding, as all four genes must determine the same color for the eye color to be pure; otherwise a mixed color such as blue-green will result.
The inheritance pattern followed by blue eyes is thought to be similar to that of a recessive trait.

At least two gene pairs control human hair color. One gene, which is a brown/blonde pair, has a dominant brown allele and a recessive blonde allele. If a person carries the brown allele, they will have brown hair; otherwise, they will be blonde. This also explains why two brown-haired parents can produce a blonde-haired child. The other gene pair is a not-red/red pair, where the not-red allele (which suppresses production of phaeomelanin) is dominant and the allele for red hair is recessive. Since the two gene pairs both govern hair color, a person with two copies of the red-haired allele will have red hair, but it will be either auburn or bright reddish orange depending upon whether the first gene pair gives a brown or blonde hair color respectively.

Answer 3

actually blue IS the recessive trait but the majority of kids receive brown eyes and brown hair the menority receive blue or gren eyes and blonde or red hair....even though theyre the recessive traits its more likley to get the brown hair and browm eyes

Answer 4

there is no way to tell the eye color, because traits like eye and skin color are multi gene, thats why everyone has a different skin tone and people have multicolored eyes like brown and green, theres some name for it but its too complicated for me

Answer 5

This is not a question of just what other people "like" or not. A person have to take many things directly into consideration, before jumping from one ending of the spectrum to the some other. It helps to understand your colouring. Are you neutral, warm or awesome? The undertones in your skin will certainly compliment your hair

Answer 6

I have blonde hair and I really like it! I love it because it's what looks best on me.

Answer 7

brown hair and brown eyes.

Answer 8

will have brown eyes and dark brow to black heir likely beown though
