Does brown eyes take over blue?
Answer:
My husband is Mexican (brown eyes) and I am Norwegian (blue eyes) and our baby has blue/green/brown eyes. Most awesome eyes I've ever seen. So, you never know what you are going to get. (She's 3 years old so we know this will be her permanent eye color. People comment all the time on her unusual color.)
and P.S. as far as your parents... my mom had green eyes and his mom had hazel, which probably had an effect on my daughter's color.
Yeah brown takes over blue.
You have 2 "things" to determin your eye colour...
i forget the name sorry.
to have blue eyes you must have "blue blue" - but to have brown you can have "blue brown" or "brown brown"... hope this helps
the dark color takes over the lighter color, like black and brown black would take over brown, in your case theres a possibility that the blue will take over your brown eyes or vice versa...
Brown is generally genitically the dominant color. However, my husband has really pretty blue eyes.. He's adopted so I don't know his history... Most ppl in my family have brown eyes and both my boys have blue...So, it's a gamble...Good luck.
Brown is usually dominant.
Everyone has two genes for eye color, one from each parent. The genotype (what your DNA says) therefore has two parts, while the phenotype (how you look) only has one. Br/Br will produce brown, Bl/Bl will produce blue, but Br/Bl will also produce brown (because brown is dominant).
Because brown-eyed people can still carry a genotype that is Brown/Blue, they can still pass on blue to their children. So, even though you're brown eyed, you could still pass on blue, and have a blue-eyed baby (50% chance, since the baby's father will definitely pass on blue).
Where this gets complicated, however, is in your parents both having green eyes, and you brown. This is very unusual. I'm guessing you had a recombination event - in which case you will still carry a copy of the green gene.
So, your kid could have a Gr/Bl genotype or a Br/Bl genotype, and could literally have any color in the eye rainbow.
If I were you I would wait till the child is born. Ordinarily I would say that the brown is a more dominant color but nature has a way of playing a fast one on us. Don't be surprise if you child turns out green eyed. Good luck.
