if the mother has green eyes and the father has blue can the babys eyes be brown?

brown is dominant, green and blue are recessive, therefore both parents have two copies of the gene for their eye color therefore they don't have a brown gene to pass on.

Brown-pigmented eyes are so dark that there could easily be green-eyes pigment there-and a previous answerer went into detail about the relative level of pigment, so there is no fear of infidelity.\nBut, in the case of kitty....\nNot to put too fine a point on it, but Im not aware of any genetic way two blue-eyed people can have a brown-eyed child normally... Blue eyes are recessive, being a very low level of pigment-If either parent carried a different gene, one that coded for brown eyes, then *they* would be brown eyed.  If you have brown eyes, but both your parents have blue eyes, I would suspect that one or both were not your biological parent.

On your side, the probability to have brown hair is one. Your fiancee have 0.75 chance of both parent had brown hair, I guessed.\nSo your baby will have >.75 probability to have brown hair.

Light brown eyes have 1 dominant and 1 recessive gene (Bb). Blue eyes are double recessive (bb), so with two parents having light brown eyes (Bb + Bb), the odds of a child having blue eyes is 1 in 4.\n\nBb + Bb = BB, Bb, Bb, bb

i stand corrected (looked up answer). its rare but possible.  \n\nEye color is an inherited trait influenced by more than one gene.[6][7] There seem to be three genotypic eye colors (brown, green, and blue) in humans.[3] Although it was once thought that brown eye color was always dominant and blue eye color was always recessive, the fact that two blue-eyed parents can give birth to a brown-eyed child has shown that the determination of eye color does not follow the simple rules of Mendelian inheritance.[6][8] Three gene pairs coding for human eye color are currently known: EYCL1, EYCL2, and EYCL3.[9][10]\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Determination_of_eye_color\nhttp://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~pfuerst/courses/eeobmg640/reading1eyecolor.pdf

First of all, eye color can change with age. Second, it's more complicated that the simple brown / blue description that they give in high school biology class. So I suspect that the answer is yes.

brown; thats my eye color

Supposedly (according to the Montel Williams show) it is possible, but I've never seen it happen.\n\nMy son's father is very dark, I am sort of medium olive-skinned, and my son is about the same shade as my light-skinned black roommate, whose parents are both much darker than she is. \n\nIn my experience, children will often turn out to be LIGHTER-skinned than their parents, but almost never darker. I am a prime example of this. I do know a few individuals who have children that are marginally darker than their parents, but never a biracial kid.

yes, but the chances are low. The defective gene for colorblindness is on the X chromosome. A man has one copy of the X chromosome, so if he has that copy he'll be colorblind\n\nHowever a girl has 2 copies, and as long as they have one functioning copy, they won't be.\nHowever, if your father is colorblind, and your mother is a carrier for colorblindness, your chances as a girl for being colorblind is 50%

Usually by 6-9 months.  All three of mine were born with blue eyes and they stayed that way.  It doesn't matter if they are preemies.  Their eyes will change or stay the same color just like any other baby.

It is definitely brown. Both of my children are brown eyed after my wife.....I have the recessive blue (now the only blue eyes in the family).

Hazel eyes are usually a mixture of green and brown, if that's what your asking.

100% of sons will be colorblind\n100% of daughters will be carriers\n\nYes this could stand up in court because there is no chance that the daughter recieved one of the recessive alleles from her father (because he would have to express the trait if he did).\n\nHowever, the man can still be her father, if a random mutation occured, x inactivation occured on the chromosome containing the dominant allele, chimerism, or perhaps an error in another gene caused the color-blindness...\n\nMost likely though, the man would not be her father. A deduction would not be made only on the fact that the daughter is color blind and the father isn't. A paternity test would need to be done.\n\nAnd I don't know what the hell kittybriton is talking about. People shouldn't attempt questions they don't know the answer to.

your chances are 50% because you must carry the reccessive gene for green/blue eyes.  your mother has green eyes she must carry dominant brown and recessive blue and father's blue eyed.  father has two reccessive blue genes, you have a dominant brown gene and reccessive blue. good luck...u will probabley get green eyed! mix of the two!!

Well, let`s see. My mom is hispanic and has hazel eyes and very black hair with medium skin. My dad is anglo and has black hair and green eyes and medium skin. My sister has brown eyes and black hair with a little darker skin, my brother brown hair and green eyes with medium skin, and I have grey eyes and reddish brown hair with medium skin. My mom`s sister is darker than her and all her kids turned out darker than us with black hair and brown eyes. Her husband was anglo also with brown hair and blue eyes. So what you get is a luck of the draw.

It depends on what genes are passed down.  I have brown eyes and my husband has blue eyes...our daughter has green eyes.  We both must carry a green eye gene that she got.

There is a WONDERFUL site that you can input both parents eye colors (and their parents) and it will tell you the percentages of what you offsprings eyes could be!\n\nhttp://www.thetech.org/genetics/\n\nDown near the bottom left it will have the link for you to launch the application to do the test.
