If I have brown eyes and my bf has brown eyes can we make a blue eyed baby?

Question

If I have brown eyes and my bf has brown eyes can we make a blue eyed baby?

Answer 1

My sister is half hispanic and her boyfriend is hispanic and their little girl turned out with blue eyes. Also I have mexican in me and my daughter also has blue eyes.

Answer 2

no. a blue eyed baby can only be made by 2 green eyed ppl, 2 blue eyed ppl, a brown eyed and  blue/green eyed ppl. there are more combos, but 2 brown eyed ppl, no.

Answer 3

It's not just your genes that are thrown into the pool. It's the genes of countless previous generations..., from both sides of each family and both sides of previous families, and..., well you get the point.

As the song says: "Don't it make your brown eyes blue?"

Answer 4

it's highly unlikely. I have brown eyes and my husband has green eyes and we have 3 brown eyed children.

Answer 5

If you & your bf each have at least one parent that had blue eyes, yes. You would each need to pass on one gene for blue-eyes, since blue eyes is a recessive trait, it wouldn't happen if only one of you had a blue-eyed parent. Though many babies are born with blue eyes and change in the first year, you might not know right away!

Answer 6

alot of answers have said yes if one of your parents have blue eyes but that is not always true...each of your parents could all have brown eyes but still have a recessive gene for blue eyes so it could pass year without seeing a blue eyed baby until two people who have both got at least one recessive gene each pass that to their child will you see blue eyes in example  B=brown dominant gene   b=blue recessive gene

first time came out looking funny so let me fix it

mother has Bb

father has Bb

child could have BB making brown eyes or Bb making brown eyes or bb making blue eyes

Answer 7

yes, you can... brown is dominant though so you'll probably have a brown eyed baby but brown + brown can equal blue.

but I've heard that two blue eyed parents can't have a brown eyed child.

Answer 8

It depends if one of you carries the recessive gene for blue eyes.

Answer 9

If you and your boyfriend are white then probably yes. If you are not then probably no.

Answer 10

well, it's definatley possible!

the chromosomes for hair color

and eye color are the most

complicated-- there for, there

will be a variety of what color eyes

your baby may possible have.  If

either of your parents has blue eyes

it increases the chances!

Answer 11

It really depends if you have blue eyed family member you might be  a carrier of the gene but it wasn't dominat enough for you to get it. It is not impossible at all, but if both of your families have a background of immediate family members having brown eyes then more than likely the brown gene will be predominant.

Answer 12

no its genetically impossible cuz brown eyes is a dominant gene and light is recessive so if both of u have brown eyes that means that u both have two dominant genes and no possibility for light colors the most variation youll get is a lighter or darker shade of brown

Answer 13

It depends on if you both carry the ressesive gene for blue eyes.

Answer 14

it is possible. both of my parents have brown eyes  but my sister has bluish green eyes and my brother has blue eyes. i was the only one with brown eyes. my husband has greenish/hazel eyes and as i said i have brown eyes and my son has brown eyes as well.

Answer 16

if someone back in your family does. you both have to be HETEROZYGOUS or HOMOZYGOUS RECESSIVE. your boyfriend is recessive because he has blue eyes. you may be homozygous dominant which means you can't beacuse you only have brown eyed gene which cancels out the blue eyed gene from your bf. you have to be heterosygous. it means you carry one gene for brown, and one for blue. if you give the blue, and obviously he will because hes recessive, then you will! so its a chance, if your family members somewhere before you have blue eyes.

Answer 17

well brown eyes is obviously the dominant trait here, but there can still be a chance of her getting blue eyes depending on whether any of your other family members have blue eyes or not.

Answer 18

Does your parents have blue eyes? if so you have the recessive gene. What about your boyfriend? If so, he also has the recessive gene. So if that is the case, then you guys have a 25% chance of having a blue eyed baby.

Answer 19

Yes, but like the other's said, it has everything to do with genetics. If both of you have brown-eyed parents, then no, you won't have a blue-eyed kid.

Answer 20

You COULD if someone else in your family does chances are you will not.

Answer 21

Well, I have brown eyes brown hair and so does my husband.But our son has blonde hair and blue/green eyes. Both of our moms have blue eyes so it's in our genes I suppose.

Answer 22

If you both have recessive blue genes, yes, there could be a 1 in 4 chance you will have a blue eyed child, but you have no way of knowing what genes you have, so who knows?

Answer 23

yes...I have hazel eyes my hubby has brown and two of our children have blue eyes.

Answer 24

definitely with paper dolls or wii - but a real life human baby is not likely.  possible - but not likely. :)'

Answer 25

it depends on what your parents have. you and him both have brown eyes which is the dominant gene but if you have parents with blue eyes, you're carrying the recessive gene (he would be the same). 2 recessive genes (1 from you, 1 from him) will make the recessive trait show.

it's all based on genetic charting.

Answer 26

Yes.  Blue is recessive to brown, but if there are other family members with blue eyes on one or both sides of the family, it's possible (though less likely than a brown-eyed baby.)

Answer 27

yeah it's possible.

if one of your parents had blue eyes or you have had someone in your family with blue eyes, you could have a recessive trait (and your boyfriend might too)

it's kinda rare, but i was a blue eyed baby from my brown eyed parents :)

Answer 28

it depends if any of your other family members have blue eyes. I have green eyes , by boyfriend has brown eyes, and our daughter is 3 and has the brightest blue eyes ever, which she got her blue eyes from her paternal great grandfather.

Answer 29

Yes, it is possible.  I live in MN and there are MANY examples of both parents having brown eyes and having blue eyed children. Even my cousin (mixed race with brown eyes) and his girlfriend (brown eyes) have a blue eyed daughter.  Our grandmothers have blue eyes.   It all depends on the combo that shows up in the gene background.

Answer 30

The baby will have Heterochromia Iridium (different color for each eye).

Answer 31

yes. both my parents have brown eyes and i have blue
