The mother and father’s genotype will determine the eye color of the children. The genotype is the gene combination for a given trait, which, in this case, is the eye color. It’s highly unlikely for a baby to have blue eyes if both the parents have brown eyes. There is 75 to 95% chance of the baby getting brown or green eyes if both the parents have same colored eyes.īlue is a recessive eye color. Homozygous means that two copies match or are dominant (denoted by two capital letters such BB) and heterozygous means that the two copies of the gene differ or recessive (denoted by two small letters, bb).īrown and green are dominant eye colors. One is inherited from the mother, and the other from the father. Human beings have two copies of every gene. Most of the babies born with blue eyes because the newborns take time for producing the pigment melanin.You cannot determine the exact color of the baby’s eyes until he or she turns three.

The child will have green eyes if it receives green alleles from both the parents or one green and one blue allele.

Since blue is recessive and there is no dominant allele, the child will have blue eyes.

Baby blue eyes depends if it receives blue alleles from both the parents.

The child will have brown eyes if it receives a recessive allele (blue) from one parent and a dominant allele (brown) from the other parent.

The child may get two dominant alleles from the parents, one dominant one recessive or two recessive alleles. The newborn's eye color depends on both the parents' eye color and whether the alleles are dominant or recessive.

The brown allele is dominant over green and blue green is dominant over blue and blue is recessive.

There are three pairs of alleles responsible for eye color with each allele giving either brown, green or blue. Genes mutate to give alternative forms called alleles, and each allele slightly differs from the other. The baby inherits 50% of eye color genetics material from each of its parents. Eye color is a physical trait determined by the pairing of genes from both the parents.
