Can parents with blue and brown eyes have a green eyed child?

First, the answer is yes to both questions: two blue-eyed parents can produce green or brown-eyed children. Eye color is not the simple decision between the brown (or green) and blue versions of a single gene. There are many genes involved and eye color ranges from brown to hazel to green to blue to…

Can a baby have blue eyes if one parent has brown and another?

A lot. A brown eyed dad and a green eyed mom can have a blue eyed child because there are at least two eye color genes. Because of this, it is possible for both green and brown eyed parents to be carriers for blue eyes. And as carriers, they each can pass down blue eye genes to their children.

What are the chances of 2 blue eyed parents having a green eyed child?

Because of how eye color works (see below), if one gene can cause brown eyes, it would dominate over another that causes blue. In fact, that is what happens with green eyes in the older model. The brown gene dominates over the green one resulting in brown eyes.

How can two parents with brown eyes have a child with blue eyes?

If both of you have brown eyes, then there is generally a 25\% chance that the baby will have blue eyes if both of you carry the recessive blue-eye gene. But if only one of you has a recessive blue-eye gene, and the other has two brown, dominant genes, then there is a less than 1\% chance of the baby having blue eyes.

How do you inherit green eyes?

Green eyes are a genetic mutation that produces low levels of melanin, but more than blue eyes. As in blue eyes, there is no green pigment. Instead, because of the lack of melanin in the iris, more light scatters out, which make the eyes appear green.

Can blue eyes turn green with age?

In most people, the answer is no. Eye color fully matures in infancy and remains the same for life. But in a small percentage of adults, eye color can naturally become either noticeably darker or lighter with age.

Can two blue-eyed parents have a Brown-Eyed Baby?

Though recent research says there’s a lot more than parents’ eye color that affects baby’s eye color, these guidelines show some of the more likely scenarios: Two blue-eyed parents are very likely to have a blue-eyed child. Two brown-eyed parents are more likely to have a child with brown eyes.

What are the chances of having a baby with green eyes?

One parent with brown eyes and one parent with green eyes: 50\% chance of baby with brown eyes, 37.5\% chance of baby with green eyes, 12.5\% chance of baby with blue eyes. One parent with blue eyes and one parent with green eyes: 50\% of chance of baby with blue eyes, 50\% chance of baby with green eyes, 0\% chance of baby with brown eyes.

What are the chances of having a blue or brown eye?

Here are the rest of the possibilities: Each child has a 25\% chance of having brown eyes and a 75\% chance of having blue eyes. This is simplified since the other eye color genes (like those that influence green eyes) are being ignored.

Can two green-eyed parents have a hazel-eyed child?

Two green-eyed parents are likely to have a green-eyed child, although there are exceptions. Two hazel-eyed parents are likely to have a hazel-eyed child, although a different eye color could emerge.
