Brown haired/ brown eyed mom with blonde hair/ brown eyed dad. Both have recessive light eyed genes. What the baby look like?

Question

Answer

Eye colour is incredibly complex. You're likely to have a dark eyes child, but it's not guaranteed. I'm a white Western European descended woman and my husband is from Bangladesh with south Asian and European ancestry. He's brown skinned, black hair and brown eyes, where I'm pale, blonde hair and blue eyes. Our daughter is fair skinned, dark hair and blue eyed. Genetics are fascinating.

Answer

Just going to put this here.

Answer

Brown hair is always dominant over blonde. So the brown haired parent could be BB or Bb but the blonde haired parent can only give bb so the baby only has a 25% chance of being blonde. And since dark eyes are also dominant over light eyes and both parents have Dd, you have a 0% chance of having a child with light eyes. Therefore; the child will be a brown haired, brown eyed child but ALSO has a 25% chance of having blonde hair :)

Answer

Genetics are crazy, there's no way to tell lol. For example, my son is blonde, my hair is so dark brown it's almost black, my husbands hair is a medium brown. Both my parents hair is so dark brown it's almost black, my husbands parents are black haired and medium brown haired. All 4 of my husbands grandparents were brown or black haired, 2 of mine are black haired, one is brown, and one is blonde. So that blonde hair basically skipped down from my sons great grandma to him lol.

Answer

Eyes are a very complicated gene to predict. It's not all about recessive/ dominant genes. Even if you both have a light eyed parent it doesn't mean you carry any light eyed genes.
