blue eyes, brown eyed father/?

Question

I have blue eyes and so do my three siblings. My mother and her family all have blue eyes, but my father and his parents have brown eyes. Can my father still be my father?

Answer 1

Yes!

It is all about the genes. I bet your fathers Great Grand mother or father may have had blue eyes.

My ex hubby has brown eyes, I have Blue eyes. Oldest daughter has Brown and Youngest has blue. My oldest (brown eyes) married a man with brown eyes and my Grand daughter has blue eyes!

I am the only one in my living family besides my youngest daughter and Grand daughter, who has blond hair and blue eyes. On both sides of my family every one has black, red, or brown hair and everyone has green or brown eyes. Boy I am glad my youngest daughter and my Grand daughter looks like me!

Answer 2

Blue eyes are recessive. this suggests all different colored eyes are dominant, so if a gene for the different shade is exceeded down, the youngster won't have blue eyes. the mummy for sure has 2 blue eye genes (one offered by employing each and each discern) and for this reason blue eyes. this suggests she would be able to pass a blue eye gene to the youngster. What we can't be responsive to is whether or no longer the father possesses the blue eye gene. for sure he has a brown eye gene yet could have the blue eyed one besides (if the two of his mum and dad had blue eyes then he will very own that gene). So it relatively comes right down to what the father passes on. If he passes on a blue eye gene the little you will have blue eyes. If he passes on a brown eye gene (or a green or hazel or the different recessive gene he could have) then the toddler gets its eye shade from him.

Answer 3

You should have had this in biology class. You have two genes for eye color, one from your mom, one from your dad.. There are two basic genes for eye color, blue and brown. Brown is dominant, which means if you have one blue gene and one brown gene your eyes will be brown. Two brown genes or two blue genes gives the obvious.

Call the dominant gene "B" (brown) and the recessive "b" (blue).

All possibilities:

BB - Brown eyed, no recessive
Bb - Brown eyed, but carries recessive blue
bb - both recessive

Your dad is probably Bb. Your mom is bb. You kids are bb; the first "b" came from your dad, the second from your mom.

Cautionary note 1: If you and your siblings look Danish and your dad is Chinese or a *****, you are probably adopted.

CN2: There are really about 7 genes for eye color, which is why there are people out there with green, violet, grey and hazel eyes.

True "Brown" is the dark, warm mahogany color you see in Negroes and Asians and swarthy Mediterranean types, like Maria, a woman of Spanish heritage I knew in college, with hair like a raven's wing and eyes so dark they seemed black. To see those eyes again, across a small candle-lit table in a student cafe, holding hands and planning a future . . .

True "Blue" is what you see in Scandinavians. The lady named Pedersen I dated dropped me like a hot rock.

Two parents with eyes "hazel - more brown than not" can have a child with eyes "hazel - towards blue a little". If someone like Maria married someone with her eye color and had a child with eyes as blue as cornflowers, you'd know he was adopted or she was fooling around with a Swede.

Answer 4

If his name is on your birth certificates and he's loved you and raised you all these years, in spite of your teenage years, then he's certainly your father.

Your mother's blue eyes may be a more dominant gene than your father's brown eyes. Mendel aside, it happens sometimes that brown eyes are a recessive gene. Quite asking questions that will certainly insult your father needlessly and start thinking about all the love, affection and security that man has given you all these years.

Answer 5

According to the link given below, one light brown eyed parent and one blue-green eyed parent can have a child with any possible eye color. However, the site warns that eye color is not a very reliable method when attempting to determine paternity.

Answer 6

Blue eyes are a recessive trait Brown are dominant trait, however it can be a dominant recessive and still be brown so that when you have a child with someone that has blue eyes there is a chance that the child will have blue eyes as well. look up Punnett Square.

Answer 7

Yes, first, since brown eyes are dominant aleles, it means that your father can have a blue-eyed gene that won't manifest because it is recessive. Also, there are mutations to brown-eye genes that make them recessive. You could be in any case. One feature is not usually enough to determine the "unpaternity". I, for example, am extremely similar to my father, however my skin is white like my mother and not darker like his, even if the darker color is supposed to be dominant.

Answer 8

It's uncommon for all four of y'all to have beaten the odds & gotten the blue-eyes gene. Does your father's family have any history of blue-eyed people? If he's a carrier for that gene - then it up's the odds a bit more in favor of the blues.

And to answer your question... Yes, your father can still be your father.

Answer 9

I have blue eyes and now I'm very glad my father had blue eyes and my mother had green eyes.

Answer 10

I am sure you all have the same nose. Funny how the genes work though. 3 siblings with the same colored eyes from parents with different eye color is a long shot. Makes me cross eyed. Hug your parents.
