Can a brown eyed and green eyed parents have a blue eyed baby?
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.
Are green eyes dominant over blue eyes?
The allele genes come in the form of brown, blue, or green, with brown being dominant, followed by green, and blue being the least dominant or what is called recessive. However, if one parent has green eyes and the other blue, your child will most likely have green eyes, as green is dominant over blue.
Can a baby have blue eyes if one parent has 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.
What happens if you have blue and green eyes?
People with complete heterochromia have eyes that are completely different colors. That is, one eye may be green and their other eye brown, blue, or another color.
Are green eyes a mix of brown and blue?
The green color is caused by the combination of: 1) an amber or light brown pigmentation in the stroma of the iris (which has a low or moderate concentration of melanin) with: 2) a blue shade created by the Rayleigh scattering of reflected light.
How rare is blue and green eyes?
Part of the reason they hold our attention is because they are extremely rare. While the science is somewhat scattered, the current research suggests that only around 3-5% of the human population has true blue green eyes. That’s pretty amazing when you consider there’s over 7 billion people on the planet.
What color eyes do green and blue make?
Baby blue eyes depends if it receives blue alleles from both the parents. Since blue is recessive and there is no dominant allele, the child will have blue eyes. The child will have green eyes if it receives green alleles from both the parents or one green and one blue allele.
Can a blue eyed parent and a hazel eyed parent produce a blue?
My mother carried a blue eyed gene from her father. I also carry a blue eyed gene. Blue eyes after brown are the most dominate. A blue eye and green eye usually produce blue, but can produce a hazel. 2 blue eyes usually produce blue, but can produce a hazel as well. A blue eye and a hazel will usually produce a blue, but can produce a hazel.
Can a blue and brown eyed child have green eyes?
That is, 50% chance of brown eyes and 25–50% chance of having green eyes (25% if blue is dominant to green; 50% if blue and green are of the same dominance). Don’t let people fool you with statistics though, once the chance of it happening is more than 0%, it can happen.
What are the odds of baby having green eyes?
Both parents with brown eyes: 75% chance of baby with brown eyes, 18.8% chance of baby with green eyes, 6.3% chance of baby with blue eyes. Both parents with blue eyes: 99% chance of baby with blue eyes, 1% chance of baby with green eyes, 0% chance of baby with brown eyes.
What are the odds that my baby will have blue eyes?
In this way, the odds of eye color options can be calculated. As an example, if both parents have blue eyes, but are carriers of a brown gene, according to all the potential combinations using a 2-gene model, the child will most likely have blue eyes, but has a one in four chance of having brown eyes.
