Is it possible to have a baby with brown eyes if both parents have blue eyes?

Answer 1

Yes. It is amazingly easy. Most parents carry recessive genes (like for blue eye color) that only express themselves if you have a pair of them. That does not stop them from also having dominant genes for eye colors like brown in their family's DNA.

If that brown gene ends up in a child the child can show brown eyes and carry both blue and brown genes into the next generation.

Answer 2

I'm so tired of this question for 2 reasons:

1. It's been asked so many times before...use Search, you'll find it, and the numerous answers given.

2. It's basic 9th grade biology, in the chapter about dominant and recessive genes, good ol' Mendel the monk and the numerous plants he bred, all condensed into a lovely little diagram called a Punnet Square, for which you can thank Reginald Punnet.

But no, it's not possible. An offspring of 2 blue eyed parents cannot have brown eyes because the parents carry 2 recessive genes each. Allow me to attempt to demonstrate (this is easier on paper):

B=dominant brown
b=recessive blue

----b----b
b--bb---bb
b--bb---bb

Answer 3

Yes, because genetics can cause blue eyed parents to hve a brown-eyed baby if maybe the grandparents had brown eyes. The genes could have simply skipped a generation.

Answer 4

Well eye color isn't controlled by Mendelian inheritance, such as dominate and recessive. Eye color is the effect of the bodys ability to produce pigment, blue eyes don't have much pigment in them, while darker eyes have a lot. This is why a person with two different colored eyes doesn't pass on the trait. It the same for skin color, height, these are called continuous traits.

Answer 5

No.
According to Mendel the baby will have brown eyes,as his parents have both 2 recessive characters

Answer 6

blue is recessive brown is dominant : short answer, no
- if both parents are blue eyed and the baby has brown eyes, someone better do a paternity test :)

Answer 7

its impossible....
coz blue eyes are represented by ( bb),and if both parents got blue eyes then the chance of having children with blue eyes is 100%.....in the other hand if one of the parents got brown eyes and the other got blue eyes then the chance of having a baby with brown eyes is 50% coz brown eyes are represented by (Bb)

Answer 8

OOoops... the only way you can do that is by cheating on your husband. Or, if someone on the mommy's family or daddy's happen to have brown eyes, and the probabilities are low. It's a genetic thing.

Answer 9

it depends on the parents gentics, if they have a heterozigous domiant allells that they obtained from their parents, brown eyes is a dominat trait
