Baby Eye Colour?

[Invictas]

If both parents have blue eyes,can their baby have brown eyes?

It's just some website that somebody's thrown together - it doesn't claim to be accurate or scientific...

It's fairly well known that the colour of your eyes and hair don't necessarily come directly from that of your parents.

Here's another site - it might give you "better" results... ;-)

*Looks for green eyed milkman* LOL

[ummmm]

I alway thought that wasn't possible either...

Pink...My Mum has hazel eyes....more green. My Dad has blue eyes...more or less like mine. My kids have blue eyes like me...all three, although they have different Dads (not all three of them) OH....has a really strange colour. They look blue but when you get close up they are an equal mixture of brown and blue...and are very odd. Like my Mums.

A friend of mine has one grey eye and one brown..............

[ummmm]

I know someone who has a green eye and a brown eye....it's a really big contrast as well.

Just out of interest, found an article on science daily, according to research a couple of years ago, all of us with blue eyes can be linked to one individual 6000-10,000 years ago who had a genetic mutation which caused their eyes to be blue, before that all humans had brown eyes.

[ummmm]

David Bowies was due to an accident though.

[MarkRae]

And they aren't actually different colours...

[honky-tonk]

usually different colour eyes are due to a injury on one of the eyes or a underlying disease that affects the eye colour.

[ummmm]

No...I know two people who were born with different eyes colours.

Green eyes are genetically the same as blue. Don't think is possible for two blue-eyed parents to have brown eyed child, because both parents must have the "blue" gene to have blue eyes themselves (as it is recessive) - so they can both only pass blue to the child. Strange things do happen though!

[ljdksa]

sorry should have said parents must have TWO "blue" genes

[mollykins]

Unless they've got some kind of mutation no, i don't think so as i believe blue eyes are recessive, so you have to have both of your eye colour genes as blue to have them so your child should have blue, but i don't know how colours such as green come into the equation . . .
