Can two blue eyed parents produce a dark brown eyed child ?

Answer 1

yes when the gene is dominate in one or both set of parents...lets say your grandfather had brown hair and brown eyes but everyone else in the family has blonde hair w/ blue or green eyes you still carry your grandfathers gene for the brown hair and brown eyes. So there is a chance your baby can look like your grandfather...even though you don't got the brown hair or brown eyes

For the person who said it's impossible take a look at this link before you think we are all wrong moron

Answer 2

Nope! But 2 brown eyed parents CAN produce a blue eyed child. Brown is dominant, Blue regressive. Let's say brown eyes is an X and blue eyes a Y. If someone has one X gene and one Y gene, eye color will be Brown (X) but would still be a carrier of the blue eyed Y gene and can pass it to offspring. And so if 2 brown eyed parents each have a recessive blue eyed gene and pass it to the baby whoch creates a YY gene combo, then the baby would have blue eyes. And 2 blue eyed parents will only have a blue eyed child or a variant of blue since each parent could only pass a Blue gene down.

Answer 3

Blue eyed genes are indeed recessive. I have dark brown eyes and produced a hazel eyed child with my hazel/blue eyed husband. I, obviously, have a blue eyed gene. But that is to be expected since my father had blue eyes and therefore, had nothing to give me but a blue eyed gene. (two blue eyed genes=blue eyes)

Each trait is represented by two genes and it is only when two recessives are present that the recessive trait shows up...

Therefore, if two parents are exhibiting recessive traits... like blue eyes or blonde hair... they can pass on ONLY that gene.
However, if they have hazel eyes or some combination of off-blue... then I think there is a chance that you are dealing with some mixtures.

I would never want to positively say that a child is not the biological product of two people, but I would be suspect if two parents with PURE BLUE EYES produced a dark BROWN eyed child.

Answer 4

Yes, it can come from the grandparents.

I have 1 green and 1 brown eye.
Husband has blue eyes.

Kids:
1 dr brown
1 green
1 blue.

We both have dark hair. Husband had blonde until age 4
At one point we had
1 blonde
1 brunette
and 1 strawberry blonde. All kids look similar too. Very strange.

Answer 5

YES. my uncle is blue eyed, and his wife is blue eyed BEAUTIFUL EYES. and had 2 children with dark brown eyes and 2 with hazel eyes. so it is possible.our whole family has dark brown eyes. the doctor was very shocked because this does not happen!

Answer 6

NEVER

blue eyes are recessive.. blue eyed people ONLY have the genes for blue eyes, as such 2 blue eyed people can ONLY have blue eyed kids...

(brown eyed people can carry the recessive gene and brown eyed people can produce blue eyed kids)

wow I am shocked at how many people (above) didnt know this

if you know 2 blue eyed people and their kid has brown eyes - either its adopted or mommy had another man....

Answer 7

If they are carriers of the dark brown gene then yes I think they can.

Answer 8

Yep.

Answer 9

Yep , this is totally possible

Answer 10

yes the can as it can go back to the aunts/uncles etc
