is there any way that a person with dark brown eyes marries another person with the same color and have a kid?

Yes, if they are both carriers of a recessive light eye color gene, then there is a 25% chance (1 in four) that a child will have light eyes.

No:\nThey too distantly related.\nAlso their chromosome number and chromosome and shapes and gene layout, and individual genes are vastly different, so they cannot pair up in the fusion that is part of of the fertilisation reaction.

i stand corrected (looked up answer). its rare but possible.  \n\nEye color is an inherited trait influenced by more than one gene.[6][7] There seem to be three genotypic eye colors (brown, green, and blue) in humans.[3] Although it was once thought that brown eye color was always dominant and blue eye color was always recessive, the fact that two blue-eyed parents can give birth to a brown-eyed child has shown that the determination of eye color does not follow the simple rules of Mendelian inheritance.[6][8] Three gene pairs coding for human eye color are currently known: EYCL1, EYCL2, and EYCL3.[9][10]\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Determination_of_eye_color\nhttp://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~pfuerst/courses/eeobmg640/reading1eyecolor.pdf

Well, being that blonde and red are submissive genes..one could say that in time, they will die out, or at least become rare, because even Asian people have a few blue/grey eyed children. \n Say B= brown (or black whatever).. and r=red. If a brown headed man(Br) has four children with a red headed woman(rr)..the odds or this:\nDad B  r\nMom r  r\n Meaning there is at least a 1 in four chance that the child will have red hair. As long as the submissive gene is there, the hair/eye color will be there. Even if both parents have Brown or Black hair. If both have the submissive gene for Red/ blonde. they have a 1 in 4 chance of having that color show in their children

By Mendelian theory, no. (bb= blue, BB & Bb=brown)\nBlue eyes are a recessive trait \nbb x bb = only bb\nNow if they were Brown eyed with the blue recessive trait and a blue eyed spouse\nBb x bb = Bb Bb bb bb\n\n-----------BUT---------------------\n\nMost of us learned the model for determining eye color that G.C. Davenport and C.B. Davenport devised in 1907. The Davenport model wrongly says brown eye color is always dominant over blue eye color, which means that two blue-eyed parents always have blue-eyed kids. We know better now.\n\n"Although not common, two blue-eyed parents can produce children with brown eyes," says Richard A. Sturm, a Principal Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.\n\nEye color is a complex trait that depends on the state of several interacting genes. The gene that usually decides the issue (blue eyes or brown eyes) is the OCA2 gene on chromosome 15. But it comes in different strengths. A person with a weak form of the OCA2 gene will have blue eyes. Likewise a person with a strong form will have brown eyes. \n\nThe plot thickens, though, because an individual also has other eye-color genes that each has a say in the final eye-color outcome. For example, if one of these lesser genes is strong, it can make the weak form (blue) of OCA2 work much more effectively — almost like the strong form (brown). Then the eye color may be a light brown or muddy grey. In fact, the resulting color can be any shade of brown, hazel/green, or blue depending on the strengths of the interactions.\n\nSo, yes... two blue eyed parents can produce a brown eyed baby.

The 1:4 ratio others are giving you are wrong.  If there are two separate traits you want to find the recombination ratio for you need to do a punnet square (google that I'm not explaining).  Long story short, if the parents are heterzygous for the dominant gene (they carry one dominant and one recessive gene), there will be a 1:16 chance that the child will inherit *both* homozygous recessive traits.\n\nHere, the recessive traits are blue eyes and blong hair; dominant traits are brown eyes and black hair.

yes its def possible. you dont have to share the same blood to love each other unconditionally. people who can accept other's children and love and care for them like their very own are few in this world! good for you!

If both parents have blue eyes, then the child will have blue eyes.  Because blue eyes are a recessive gene, so, blue eyed people only carry blue eyed genes.\nOn the other hand, brown eyed people can be carrying a blue eyed gene, since brown is the dominant gene.  Two brown eyed people, both carrying one blue eyed gene, could give birth to a blue eyed child.\n\nMy aunt has brown eyes, but someone in her lineage had blue eyes.  My uncle has blue eyes.  They gave birth to 3 girls, all with blue eyes.  Which means my aunt was carrying the recessive blue eyed gene and passed it along to her children.\n\nBut, to your question, the only way to definitively say a child will have any particular color eyes is if two people with blue eyes have kids.  Then, the kids will have blue eyes.  In all other cases, the eye color of the children will be unknown.

yes i do the double take thing sometimes. the most ironic part for me is that i myself am the product of a mixed marriage. my mother is white my father is black. but still i'll see a light skinned child go to his/her dark skinned mother and i'm shocked, or a dark skinned child going to a light skinned father. i try not to stare sometimes i compliment them on such a lovely looking child and explain my situation and background.

It depends on what genes are passed down.  I have brown eyes and my husband has blue eyes...our daughter has green eyes.  We both must carry a green eye gene that she got.

I (a man) have one full sibling (a brother) and my wife has a sister. We had a boy for our first kid in November. So, it happens. Good luck.

It's very possible. My best friend is Native American, and she is as blue eyed/blonde as them come. Recessive genes can toss you through a loop. Give him the benefit.

Beautiful Brown eyes.

sure, the parents probably have two recessive traits, green and blue eyes, and for the child the dominant trait showed up, brown eyes\nin a simple way, a baby gets one of two variations of a gene from each parent\ndominant trait is dominant because when it is paired with a recessive, it shows up instead of the recessive one. recessive traits only show up when the baby gets the same two recessive traits from the parents\nall other choices will make the baby get brown eyes\nin this case my teacher said that brown eyes is a dominant trait

see its in ones genes.when fertilization takes place the mom's and dad's genes combine to give the baby its charecteristics like eye color,haircolor,etc.it dosent mean that if the mom is YELLOW eyed and the dad is blue eyed, the baby will be green eyed.the eye colors of parents dont mix instead their genetic codes mix up to form a new one.somtimes the baby has the same eye color as either of its parents.its based on mendels laws of genetics .mail me if u want to know more.im good at genetics

Darkness of skin is more complicated then just dominate/non dominate.\nIn the case of your nephew, his wife was carrying a recessive trait for eye color. B=Brown b=blue.\nSo let us guess that you brother has blue eyes...\nhe is a bb while his wife is Bb. so that gives four combinations...\nbB,bB,bb,bb half of which give brown eyes (bB &bB) and half blue (bb,bb) So you can conclude that you  sister in laws family has some caucasion ancesstors.\n\nAs to you and your husband. You must have aleast one non-dominate blue gene, if you brother has blue eyes. You husband will likely have dominate Black or Brown and some other gene. If you look at his parent's eye color and his siblings. If any of them have blue eyes you child can have blue eyes. It is most likely that you child will be darker than you and lighter than you husband

I've seen two people with pale purple irises, before the time of colored contacts. So it must be possible.
