Do I have a high chance of having brown eyed children?

[SkyBurn]

Here's my supposed genotype from 23andme vs my phenotype for eye colour.

Obviously there are some recessive genes that have not been taken into consideration here, but I wonder how this would impact on the heritability of eye colour future children (assuming I reproduced with somebody with blue eyes).

Please spare me the punnett squares though :p

interesting.. I wouldn't really consider your eyes hazel. they look majority blue with an inner green. If you reproduced with a blue eyed woman, I don't think the chance of your child having brown eyes would be very high.

23andme prediction traits can be wrong,

depends on what her genetics say. if she's like you (brown/hazel eyes dominate) then there's a higher chance your kids will have brown eyes. if blue eyes are dominant in her family, then there's more of a 50/50 chance for brown eyes i think

was googling the black joshua jackson giving you ideas? :p

It depends, both of my parents are brown eyed (my mom has amber eyes), and I ended up having hazel eyes, but both me and my mom had 50%chance of having blue eyes or full brown green eyes. Genetics are kind of random and it depends on a lot of other factors wether your kid will have brown or blue eyes.

depends on what her genetics say. if she's like you (brown/hazel eyes dominate) then there's a higher chance your kids will have brown eyes. if blue eyes are dominant in her family, then there's more of a 75/25 chance for brown eyes (brown eyes dominating)

Does this still apply given my eyes are not brown/hazel? They're very much blue with a hint of green

Depends on the woman. What she is.

sorry i edited my post bc i made a mistake. your eyes look blue to me but they're a recessive trait in your family, meaning if you had kids with a woman with genetics like yours (dominating brown eyes), your kids would have a high chance of having brown eyes but ofc there's a chance for blue/green eyes. if her genetics show more blue eyes, i'd say the chance is more around 50/50 bc you still carry that dominant brown eye gene. eye colors are tricky tho, i haven't taken a dna test but just based on my family there are a lot of instances where both parents have brown eyes and one or two kids have blue eyes. my parents and i have brown eyes and my brother got green eyes bc both of my parents carry a recessive colored eye gene. so even if you have blue eyes and you have kids with a woman who has blue eyes, there's always the possibility of your kids having brown eyes either way

I have two siblings with pure blue eyes and one with pure green eyes. A blue eyed and a green eyed parent. Only one brown eyed grandparent

I'm sure there's some very interesting pedigree trees that could be drawn up here to help me predict my chances of having brown eyed children.

that's really interesting then considering your results show more brown/hazel eyes

Bump :)

I still dont understand how eye color works, since everywhere i get that blue eyes were the most possible thing i would be getting, even tho my mom and Maternal grandparents none of them had blue eyes so.

I wouldnt know what to say. I always thought 1 blue eyed parent, 1 brown eyed parent, equals to a most likely brown eyed kid.

Dominant and recessive genes. The percentage depends on if the brown eyed parent has 2 dominant genes or 1 dominant and 1 recessive.

but how could my moms entire family have brown eyes for generations and the boom both kids blue eyed lol

Because they carried a recessive trait. It happens more than you think, especially in Latino populations

thats just so weird bc on my genetic results i got TWO for blue eyes, so im guessing my kids would have a high chance of blue eyes too lol

You have to have two recessive traits to have blue eyes.

If your husband has blue eyes, yes.
If your husband has brown eyes it would be a 25-50% chance of having blue depending on if he has both dominant or one recessive trait.

i have two recessive traits, according to the 23andme results i had a VERY low chance of anything but blue lol
