Offspring

Is it possible for two brown eyed, dominant gene, parents to have a blue eyed offspring? Please use evidence to defend your claim.

  1. Yes it is possible, but you need a working HERC2 and a OCA2 to have brown eyes.

  2. It is possible. Here is how it works:
    The key is that if someone makes a lot of pigment in the front part of their eye, they have brown eyes. And if they make none there, they have blue.

  3. yes because the offspring's grandparents could have had blue eyes.

  4. It can be possible for parents with both brown eyes to have a blue eyed offspring because blue eyes could have been in the family before the offspring was born.

  5. Yes it is possible because even though the brown eyes are dominant, the recessive alleles can be any other color such as green, blue, or hazel. According to an article from http://genetics.thetech.org/ask-a-geneticist/brown-eyed-parents-blue-eyed-kids, if both parents have the same color eyes then at least one of you can have blue as the recessive color that is hiding behind the brown.

  6. i'm not sure

  7. yes it is possible because there could be a dominate gene that is blue.

  8. I know it is possible but I don't know how it happens exactly.

    Yes it can because if their is two dominant brown eyes parents because of heterozygous can make their eyes blue because their two different alleles for a trait

  10. Yes because think about your other family members like your grandparents which gave birth to your parents. Your grandparents have can have different eyes like one of them can have blue eyes and the other brown. Which can work because there can be mutations to. Also for animals no matter what they are born with blue eyes. Also think about heredity from your family members again.

  11. I think that two brown eyed parents can have a blue eyed child because, if the parents of the parents had blue eyes it would be possible.

    ReplyDelete
  12. It is possible because, it could be in the family generations.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yes it is possible because someone else in the family could have blue eyes that are dominant.

    ReplyDelete
  14. yes it is possible... someone before the offspring could of had blue eyes witched caused the blue byes to go to the offspring

  15. It is Possible for Two Brown Eyed Parents to have a Blue Eyed Offspring even if the Brown Eyes are Dominant Genes.The Grandparents can pass down Blue Eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  16. its possible but very very very unlikely

    ReplyDelete
  17. It is possible because the higher generations in the family could have dominant genes.

    Yes It Is Possible But It Is Very Rare For It To Happen.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yes because the parents could be hiding those genes but they still have them in them

    ReplyDelete
  20. It is possible for two browed eyed parents to have blue eyed kids because it could be passed down from the past family members.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think this is very possible, because the parents family could have passed down the gene and into the offspring that was yet to be born. So yes It's possible.

    ReplyDelete
  22. yes it is even if brown eyes are dominant.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yes it is because your parents may have brown eyes but older parents like grandparents could pass them down and the grandkid could end up with blue eyes

    ReplyDelete
  24. It is possible for two brown eyed parents to have blue eyes even if the brown eyes are dominant genes.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Its possible but very unlikely.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Well, multiple things can happen, the grandparents can pass them down, but if the working HERC2 and OCA2 don't work, they end up with brown eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  27. They could still be blue becaus eif there is some one elts in your family with blue eyes you could have that genes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. yes but it could be vary rare cause 2 brown eyed person can have a blue eye if there parents had blue but they had brown

    ReplyDelete
  29. yes it is possible because someone else in the family can have blue eyes that are dominant.....

    ReplyDelete
  30. A offspring with both parents that have brown eyes the grandparents could have blue eyes

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yes it is possible for two brown eyed parents to have blue eyed offspring the there is only 25% chance. If one of the parents had blue eyed parents they still carry the blue eyed gene though it's recieve and not dominant. Two brown eyed parents can have children that have different color eyes as long as they carry the allelles they can have hazel, green or blue eyes as long as the parents has that allell.

  32. yes morrisons parents both have brown eyes and he has blue

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think this is very possible, because the parents family could have passed down the gene and into the offspring that was yet to be born. So yes It's possible.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yes, Because my Father and my Mother have Brown eyes and my sister has green/blue eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yeah because theres always a slight chance you will have blue or brown eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes because they could both have a blue eye color genes

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yes because other people in the family can have blue eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  38. they could because if the parents parents had blue eyed parents then the baby might have blue eyes

    ReplyDelete
  39. yes but it is not likely to happen as much

    ReplyDelete
  40. it is possible

    ReplyDelete
  41. It is posible. The reason is that some =one else could had something else that the parents didn't

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yes it is possible because someone else in the family
    can have blue eyes that are dominant.

    ReplyDelete
  43. It is possible because other relatives could have blue eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think its possible because pretty much every gene can be passed down to there child.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It is possible because, someone else in the family could have blue eyes.

    Yes it is possible think of someone in your family of people that has BLUE EYES and then you look at the parents and their child has blue eyes when they have brown of coarse it would come from the side of one family

    ReplyDelete
  47. yes it is possible, the genes will mix and it will come out as a blue eyed child, (every child is born with either blue or brown eyes)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yes! It is possible! My mother has grey/green eyes, and my dad has brown eyes! I have blue! Blue eyes are actually a mutation in your eyes! Honestly, my blue eyes are a curse.. Since blue eyes are commonly sensitive to light, and my parents are the kinda people who like to keep all the lights on, even at day time. ._.


    *LONG LIVE LEGO CLUB!*

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yes it is because blue eyes could be a recessive allele and brown eyes is dominant in both parents.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I have no clue

    ReplyDelete
  51. Yes it is possible for two Brown eyed parents to have a blue eyed offspring because the offspring's grandparents could have had blue eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  52. boy cat + girl cat = KITTENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. It is possible if they have pigment on there eye

    ReplyDelete
  54. so the parents both have brow eyes where would the blue genes come from? if one parents had blue eyes there would be a chance but what where would it come from now where the genes are mixes so its random but if they both have the same no possibility of another

    ReplyDelete
  55. Yes i think ist possible because theres always the punnett square can tell you. but in another case yes or no because its unlikey for 2 brown eyeed parents can be inheridid. But it could be passed down from genertaion.

    ReplyDelete
  56. It is entirely possible, but I missed about half of the week so I do not know how.

    ReplyDelete
  57. yes because anything is possable.

    ReplyDelete
  58. yes because there could be a dominate blue eye gene.

    ReplyDelete
  59. It is possible if they have pigment on there eye

    ReplyDelete
  60. There is a chance for that to happen but it maybe very low chance. This is because since there both brown eyes it's more possible.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Yes it is Possible for Two Brown Eyed Parents to have a Blue Eyed offspring even if the Brown Eyes are Dominant Genes. Past family members can pass down Blue Eyes and even other traits.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yes it is possible because the offsprings grandparents could have had blue eyes. The gene could've been passed down that way.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yes its possible because blue eyes could have been in the family before the offspring

    ReplyDelete
  64. yes but it is a recessive trait

    ReplyDelete
  65. Yes because blue eyes could have been common in the off springs grandparents and other relatives.

    ReplyDelete
  66. yes i think that is is possible because my brothers eye color has changed from brown to blue even though both of my parents have brown eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  67. It is possible, but very unlikely. Perhaps the parents had recessive blue genes, which could come up on their child. If the kid had an ancestor with blue eyes, then it is possible.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I know it is possible but I don't know how it happens exactly.

    ReplyDelete
  69. yes because i sayyy

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yes it is possible, if one parent has brown eyes, and the other has green, there is a slight chance that the baby will have blue eyes

    ReplyDelete
  71. yes its possible

    ReplyDelete
  72. Yes because the offspring could have other family members that have blue eyes.
