Question: Can a brown eyed Father and a Green-eyed Mother produce a Blue-eyed child?
I heard somewhere that a brown-eyed parent and a green-eyed parent could not possibly produce a blue-eyed child. Does anyone have the answer?
ANSWER:
Answer by Leo
if theyre ancestors had blue eyes there might be a slight chance of the baby being born with blue eyes
Answer by T
i think its possible. everyone is born with blue eyes (or so i read somewhere) then it changes later.
Answer by teenarcher92
yeah if its in there genes
Answer by Jane Doe
probably. my hubby has green eye’s, I have hazel eyes, and our daughter has blue eyes
Answer by larissaxxlove
yes this is possible, my mom has brown eyes and my dad has green eyes. im not sure what the odds are but it can go by your grandparents too. my gramma has blue eyes, so i must have gotten my eyes from her.
Answer by smiles07839
Yea if the other relatives have blue eyes.
Answer by Mom_in_may
Yes it is possible. Do you remember doing punnet squares in biology.
Answer by lelenguyen05
it is possible, the parent may have a recessive trait for blue eyes (if one of their family members have blue eyes, there is a possibility).. so maybe! but the chances are very unlikely
Answer by Destroyxtheworld.
It’s possible that both parents carry the blue eyed trait, which is recessive. If those two genes from the parents happen to get picked, the child can have blue eyes.
Answer by Shaker
Yes a certain gene that may be recessive in either parent may turn up in their offspring.
Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments!
you sure can!!!!!!!!!!!1
yes if the grandparents have blue eyes- it was just recessive until now
The gene that controls eye color is a recessive gene, meaning neither parent has to have blue eyes, but SOMEBODY in either family tree has to have had blue eyes. If no one in either family has blue eyes, then someone’s been sleeping around….
For certain features, people have hidden traits– like people with straight hair could have a child with curls, etc. If the parents have blue eye hidden genes, then it’s possible.
yes all white babies are born blue eyed anyway
I am sure it’s true, but it’s not 100% sure that you are.
I do think it could happen, all you need, I think is a blue eye person in the gene pool.
I think it depends on if they are carriers. The father had a dominant B for brown eyes. He could be a blue eyed carrier. Bb
But with a green eyed mother…i really don’t think so.
If both parents have the recessive blue-eye gene then yes, but both parents have to have this gene. It takes 2 recessive to make a trait happen. Brown eyes are dominate, so if you have 2 parents with 1 dominate brown eye gene each, the chances are greater that the child will have brown eyes. Unless both have the recessive gene, the the child has a 1/4 chance of having eyes with the recessive trait. My stats might be off but that is pretty much what I learned in biology last week.
I DO know that a brown eyed parent and a blue eyed parent can produce a green eyed child..So why not!
You sure can. I have green and hubby has brown and daughter has blue. One grandparent from each side needs blue eyes. It was my dad and hubby’s dad.
my mum has green eyes and my dad has brown eyes, and guess what my older sister has blue eyes. we reckon she gets them from my mums dad he had blue eyes.. so yer if its in ur genes of course it can happen
it is possible for that to happen if it is in their genetics. you normally do not see that happen very much since the blue eyes area recessive gene. but thie is a link to a calculator that will tell you exactly what the possibility is depending on the eye color of the parents and the parents parents

It’s entirely possible for a child to receive a completely different variation (like eye colour). When a child is conceived, they receive two of each gene, one from each parent. One gene is said to be dominant so if there are two different genes, the dominant will take the place. Brown eyes is a dominant gene, however, if the child were to receive two blue genes, then there would be no dominant gene (since they’re the same) so the child would have blue eyes.
When the dominant gene takes the place, the other gene remains in the chromosome but is not seen. This is the recessive gene. So if both parents have a blue eyed recessive gene and they both pass this onto the child, the child will have blue eyes. It’s not likely but possible.
Incredible thing, the human body.
yes they can…a mother has a strand of genes, and blue-eyes may be in the strand, or visa versa with the father’s genes. the chances are less to have a blue eyed child, but it IS possible…
Yes, they can produce a blue-eyed child.
A child has a 25-50% chance of having blue eyes when one parent has brown eyes and the other parent has green eyes. The genotype of each parent ultimately calculates whether the likelihood is 25% or 50%.
Take a look under “Example Crosses” on this website: http://www.athro.com/evo/gen/eyecols.html
Absolutely! I believe what you mean is if two parents are brown eyed. The eyes of both parents have to be pure brown. they cannot produce a blue eyed baby. But parents with brown and green eyes can produce babies with any color eyes.
Hope this helps.
Yes. Two white people can have a black baby if it there is a recessive gene, too.
Blue eyes is a recessive gene meaning that you have to carry it on both genes in order for you to have them. This means that you need to get one blue eyed gene from each parents. If you and your husband are both carriers, and both pass that gene to you child, then they will have blue eyes. The same goes for blond hair. Now 2 blue eyed people can only have blue eyed children since that’s all they have to give the child
Yes its possible. I’m living proof. My dad has brown eyes and my mom has olive green.
OF COURSE
ALMOST ALL BABIES ARE BORN WITH BLUE EYES AND THEY CHANGE TO THEIR PERMENANT COLOR OVER THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE.
The colored part of your eyes is called the iris. The iris of a newborn Caucasian infant is almost always blue. This is because the cells in this area of the eye at this time contain little or no pigment. After the first few months of life, pigment starts to develop and the color can become darker. When an infant is six months old, you can usually tell whether their eyes will remain blue, or turn brown, hazel or green.
Many infants are born with eyes that are not blue. African American children are generally born with brown eyes (more pigment at birth. Albino children (children with no pigment) are born with pink eyes.
Ultimately, the father’s and mother’s dominant and recessive genes that they pass on to their infant, determine an infant’s eye color at birth and its final eye color. Not all infants start out with blue eyes, or end up with blue eyes. Look around you at the plethora (multitude) of beautiful variations of eye color. EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL!!
i disagree with the statement of it being impossible
there are various general rules of genetics at work
now any person inherits information from each parent
so each person would inherit a set of information from each parent about eye colour
so for arguments sake we lable
B – brown eye gene
G – green eye gene
b – blue eye gene
now blue eyes are known to be recessive – that is when a person inherits a blue eye gene and another colour gene then the person will take on the other colour but still carry the blue gene
so if each parent has a recessive blue gene the scencario goes as follows
parent 1 – Bb resulting in brown eyes (with blue recessive)
parent 2 – Gb resulting in green eyes (with blue recessive)
so each parent has inherited a blue eye gene from each of their parents
so the parents can pass on either of each gene to their offspring to get
father B b
mother
G BG (brown eyes with green recessive) Gb (green eyes with blue recessive)
b Bb (brown eyes with blue recessive) bb (blue eyes)
so not only is it possible but there is a one in 4 chance of there being a blue eyed offspring assuming that both parents have blue eye genes that are recessive (not readily discernable)
all in all there is a 50% chance of offspring having brown eyes with 25% chance of having green eyes and 25% chance of inheriting blue eyes
so quite a high probability of that happening
Sure thanks to recessive genes. Look at your families, do your parents have blue eyes? It’s a slighter chance than getting a brown eyed or green eyed child but who knows. I have a blue-eyed cousin whose father is blonde haired/blue eyed polish/norwegian and mother is black haired/dark eyed peruvian.
You heard wrong. Genetics goes farther back than just the parents…there are grand parents, great grand parents, great great grand parents…genetics go all the way back to the beginning.
yes they can. one of them may have a blue recessive gene that is passed to the child. my daughter is a perfect example, i have hazel eyes, my hubby has green eyes, and my daughters eyes are blue.
yes.
It’s possible. genes for blue eyes are recessive and ones for darker eyes are dominant. You can have one dominant gene for brown and one recessive gene for blue. If you have a baby with someone that carries a gene for blue eyes you can have a blue eyed baby. Same thing with hair colors. Here is a site about two mixed people who had a white baby and a darker baby. Genes can do some weird things.
yea… its possible… its the regression or ressive gene(idk how to spell it)… like my friend has red hair, and his bro has brown..
my nephew has dark brown eyes and his girl has green eyes. they have a blue eyed daughter.
Yea. Most kids are born with blue eyes and they sometimes change later. I had blue eyes when I was little but now they’re green-hazel.
I don’t think it matters what your eye color is.
Listen to Melissa. I don’t need to rehash it, but biologically speaking, she is 100% correct. Recessive genes are unique in that if you have it, that is all you have, whereas dominant genes hide what the other gene is, possible the same, possibly recessive. If you have brown eyes and you produce a blue eyed child, you have answered what the second gene in your makeup is.
Yes, every single person has 2 eye color traits. They have a Dominant eye trait, and a Recessive eye trait. If the brown-eyed parent (Dominant = brown) and the green-eyed parent (Dominant = green) both have blue as the Recessive trait, the child COULD be born with blue eyes. Then, her eye color would be blue (Dominant) and would have either brown or green as their recessive trait.
My Dad Has Brown, my mom has Hazel= my sister has Blue eyes!
