Can my baby have blue eyes if grandparents?

If one of the grandparents has blue eyes, the odds of having a baby with blue eyes increases slightly. If one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes, the chances of having a brown-eyed or blue-eyed baby are roughly even.

How do I know if I carry the recessive blue eye gene?

Another way to tell if a trait is recessive is if both parents and all their kids share that same trait. In our case here, both parents have brown eyes but they had a blue-eyed child. So this follows the first pattern meaning blue eyes are recessive. The same would be true for blonde hair.

Can eye color be inherited from grandparents?

But nothing in genetics is cut and dried. Some seemingly impossible genetics can and do happen sometimes. This means that your kids might get your grandparent’s darker eyes or hair even if you have kids with someone with blonde hair and blue eyes. It just would be much less likely than blonde haired, blue eyed kids.

Can you have blue eyes if neither parent does?

If only one parent has the right stuff to pass on blue eyes, odds are none of the kids will end up with blue eyes. But these kids could all still have blue hiding behind their brown like that parent.

Can 2 brown eyed people have a blue eyed baby?

Brown (and sometimes green) is considered dominant. So a brown-eyed person may carry both a brown version and a non-brown version of the gene, and either copy may be passed to his children. Two brown-eyed parents (if both are heterozygous) can have a blue-eyed baby.

Can 2 brown-eyed people have a blue-eyed baby?

Could I have had blue eyes if my great grandmother was blue?

Yes, you have a 1 in 4 chance of carrying it, and that’s assuming that none of your other great grandparents was blue-eyed or carrying blue. Your great grandmother was homozygous for blue so each of her children *must* have been either blue-eyed or carrying blue.

How likely is it that my grandparents passed on Blue Genes?

So at least one of your grandparents was definitely carrying blue, and there’s a 50:50 chance each of their children, including your parent, was carrying blue. Then if they were carrying blue there’s a 50:50 chance they passed it on to you.

What are the chances of having a blue eyed child?

Here are the possibilities: 1 Blue eyes + blue eyes = 100\% chance of blue eyes 2 Brown eyes + blue eyes = 50\% chance of blue eyes, but only if the brown-eyed parent carries a blue-eyed gene. If not,… 3 Brown eyes + brown eyes = 25\%, but only if both parents carry the blue-eyed gene. If not, the chance is 0\% More

Can two Brown-Eyed partners have a blue-eyed baby?

Therefore, two brown-eyed partners can birth a blue-eyed baby. Here are the possibilities: Brown eyes + blue eyes = 50\% chance of blue eyes, but only if the brown-eyed parent carries a blue-eyed gene. If not, the chance is 0\% Brown eyes + brown eyes = 25\%, but only if both parents carry the blue-eyed gene.
