Yeah BC I have brown eyes and hubs has blue and our son has blue. But my brother has brown and his wife green and there son has brown if you have recessive brown eyes like one if your parents have blue or green or one of your parents have brown them u could end up with brown. My best friends parents both had blue eyes n she has deep brown its crazy how genetics work but more than likely ur baby. Will have blue
dont forget RECESSIVE genes....if u have a parent, grandparent or great grandparent that had different colored eyes your child could recieve that gene.
ALSO this is not a myth...ALL BLUE EYED PEOPLE HAVE ONE COMMON ANCESTOR!! SO this meaning all blue eyed people wayyyyyyyyyy down the line are related. this is only true for blue eyed individuals. dont believe me----google it.

Well here something funny my doctor said green are dominate over brown . But I have brown and hubby has green and baby has blue ? ! He is three and they aren't changing! But my father has baby blue eyes too so it really all plays with you and your parents lol I feel like I have a magic eight ball belly lol we are expecting baby number two and can't even make a guess cause you just never know lol
Genetics are crazy. I'm the spitting image of my moms sister. Except my eye color. My eye color no one really has! My mom has brown, my dads are more teal and bam, mine are almost a bottle green. The coolest thing about my eyes tho, is they change with my mood. I want to pass them on so badly!!!
Can I just say that it would be crazy if my baby came out dark as his/her Guatemalan dad with my dad's bright blue eyes or my clear green eyes? I think my blonde hair would just be too much to ask for.
Brown is most dominant but does not mean much since there is still recessive genes... for example my dad has brown (dominant over blue) and my mom has blue. But my dad also has a recessive blue gene because someone on his side is blue. I inherited both recessive blue genes. The same is for my boyfriend.
Since blue is recessive, which means neither me or my bf have the dominant brown gene, we will have a child with blue eyes almost indefinitely. I believe there are exceptions but its almost always this way.
I was told by an anatomy teacher that hazel and gray eyes are anomalies in genes so I have no idea about that one lol. But you can generally tell if someone with brown eyes carries a recessive blue gene, their skin will be fair(er than most) and they will have like moles or freckles and such. Not always but usually
My husband has blue I've got green my son has either blueish or greenish depending on what he is wearing and my daughter has a silvery stainless steel kinda like a babys when its first born and their eyes haven't changed yet
Blue and blue only make blue. To get blue eyes you and your partner only have genes for blue eyes. If u had genes for anything else the other color would dominate. And since u two only have genes for blue eyes you can only pass on genes for blue eyes
my mom has green eyes, but they changed color during high school and used to be blue. And my dad has brown eyes. I have blue and my bf has brown but who knows. Haha
@Lilliebug That's what i remember from biology class too. But someone earlier on this tread said that they knew someone who's parents both have blue eyes and she has brown. So i googled it. Turns out eye color is influenced by more than one gene so it does not always follow the way we were taught.
brown is dominant over green and blue green is dominant over blue if you have two blue eyed parents its next to impossible to have a child with any eye color other than blue. in an extreme rare situation each parent may have the blue eye color deformity at different places in their gene, it is possible for the cell to split and not display the recessiveness for blue eyes but its extremely extremely rare. its easier just to say blue + blue = blue.
if you're curious about genetics you should play with punnet squares, its basically cross multiplying genes to see what percentage chance you have to get a kid with xx gene combos.
for instance if both parents have brown eyes, but one of each parents grand parents had blue eyes you have a 25% chance to have a kid with brown eyes who is not a carrier of blue. a 50% chance to have a kid with brown eyes who carries the blue eyed gene recessively, and a 25% chance of having a kid with blue eyes. its actually really fun
@secondtimearound while its possible, I think its probably more possible its the mailmans kid. if I were a guy with blue eyes and my wife had blue and our kid had brown, that'd have paternity test written all over it.
I was also wondering about this my hubby.and I both have blue eyes and so does his parents and 2 of his 3 siblings ( the other has brown). My parents and brothers all have blue.. So is it possible that our baby will have brown eyes bc his brother does? I really want her to have blue

green.eyes (mom) ...which is the dominate?
ALSO this is not a myth...ALL BLUE EYED PEOPLE HAVE ONE COMMON ANCESTOR!!
SO this meaning all blue eyed people wayyyyyyyyyy down the line are related.
this is only true for blue eyed individuals.
dont believe me----google it.

neither me nor my sister got them, mine are light brown (golden) my sisters are teal.
neither of my daughters got them either....grrrrr
green is dominant over blue
