Can two brown eyed people hava a baby with hazel eyes?

Question

Thanks for the info! High school science...that was over 30 yrs ago for me.

Answer 1

yup.  unless every single person in your family history has brown eyes the baby can have any color eyes.  the genes don't just come from you, they also come from your history and relatives.  you have those genes too, they're just not the dominant genes so they don't show on you but they can show up in a child of yours  

Answer 2

Yes.  Eye color can come from genes from family members other than parents.    Also, babies eyes can change as they age.  My daughter had gray eyes for YEARS and they turned hazel recently.

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

absolutely!!!   My husband and I both have dark dark brown eyes.  So do three of our children.  My baby's eyes are the deepest brightest blue eyes I have ever seen.  Everyone told me that they would change to brown but he is 10 months old and they have not changed yet.

Answer 5

Eye color genes have two components. A brown eyed woman may have a recessive blue eye gene and a dominant brown eye gene.

If she mates with a man with brown eyes and one blue eye gene and the dominant brown eye gene....

then the baby has a chance of receiving both the recessive blue eye genes and have blue eyes!  High school science!

Answer 6

Ya if your parents or grandparents had hazel eyes I think

Answer 7

I hope so, since we did. (Hazel is really just a shade of brown.)

Answer 8

YEP. My husband has grey-blue eyes, and I have hazel eyes, and kid one (boy) has brown, kid two (girl) has hazel-grey, and kids three and four (ident. twin girls) have the bluest eyes I ever seen!

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Yes. The same as 2 brown eyed people can have a blue eyed child( i'm living proof of that lol)

It's all to do with the family genes going back thousands of years
