Eye Color

Is it possible for a man and a woman who both have brown eyes to have a child who has blue eyes?

Rating + 0 -	Yes it is possible. People with brown eyes typically have a dominant gene (we'll call X) and a recessive gene (we'll call y). If both parents have brown eyes and both parents have the dominant and recessive gene, their genetic possibilities in their children are as follows: XX - Brown Xy - Brown Xy - Brown yy - Light eyes (blue or green)	Submitted by: Jaime 2 months ago

Rating + 0 -	Yes it is possible for two parents with brown eyes to have children with blue eyes. Eye color is made up of many genes, however you can narrow it down two for most purposes using a Punnett Square. People with brown eyes typically have a dominant gene (we'll call X) and a recessive gene (we'll call y) which is called a hybrid. If both parents have brown eyes and both parents have the dominant and recessive gene, their genetic possibilities in their children are as follows: XX - Brown Dominant - 25% possibility Xy - Brown Hybrid - 50% possibility Xy - Brown Hybrid - 50% possibility yy - Light eyes (blue or green) Recessive - 25% possibility A DNA test can determine the exact make up, but there is about a 25% chance that the child would have light colored eyes.
