      Yes it is possible

      Both of the parents might have 1 dominant brown eye gene and 1 blue eye gene which causes them to have brown eyes because the brown gene is dominant. However, they still have the blue eye gene which can be inheritted by their child

      If their child gets blue eye genes and no dominant brown eye genes than the child with have blue eyes.

      However if one or both of the parents have TWO dominant brown eye genes than their baby will have no chance of having blue eyes.

      I hope that wasn't too confusing

        Yes it is possible to have a blue eyed child if the blue eyed gene runs in either side of the family.

          Lozros your son has inherited his blue eyes from u both. Both mam and dad have to pass on the blue gene so that the child has 2 recessives blues.He is pure breeding recessive for eye colour and can only pass on blue genes to his own children But blue is from both sides of the family

          Sure can but only if both the brown eyed parents are carriers for the blue recessive gene.  The individual that inherits 2 blue eyed genes is then pure breeding for their blue eyes ... Brown is dominant over blue and so it does not work the same for 2 blue eyed parents who both being purebred for blue eyes can only pass on blue as neither has a brown gene to pass on and so all their kids will be blue eyed.  So 2 BR eyed parents yes to bl  eyed child BUT 2 bl eyed parents NO to Br eyed children

          Not likely unless someone in your family has blue eyes

          Yes because the parents could still have blue eye genes that weren't so dominant in them but pass them down to the baby.

            What about having TWO blue eyed children!  Me & my husband have brown eyes & both of our daughters have blue eyes. My father has blue eyes & his mother has blue eyes. LOL

            Yes it is.  Both my husband and I have brown eyes and we have a blue-eyed son.  Both grandfathers have brown eyes and both grandmothers have blue eyes.  This means we each have one blue-eyed gene and one brown-eyed gene.  Our son got a blue-eyed gene from each of us.

            The reverse is not true, two blue-eyed people cannot have a brown-eyed child.

            That is possible. Sometimes, they can get the traits form another member in the family.  But it would be very rare. If both parents have blue eyes, There should be a 85% chance the baby should have blue eyes too.
