Not trying to detract from the point, but I have brown eyes, my wife has hazel eyes. All three of our kids have blue eyes. My mother and her father have blue eyes so I know where it came from. However the theory isn't fool proof recessive genetic traits can show up.

Can confirm, I have light eyes but my mother's eyes are darker.

Me am from poal me use neanderthal technique to determine if child is mine.

I love my freedom of speech but always remember that it includes freedom to say stupid shit.

You carry with you the refined genetic code of your entire lineage and old traits even ones that haven't been seen in multiple generations can show up in your children. The distribution and balance of certain hormones during pregnancy will also influence which dominant genes and recessive ones get "chosen" in the genetic "lottery". <simplified

It's not technically random chance or a lottery but random is just a concept humans made up to dismissively explain things that rely on so many thousands upon thousands of small pieces of information that contribute to a single result that it is impossible to process in its entirety with a human mind.

What hormones influence genes during pregnancy?

Bro read my comment again. I said two blue eyed parents can’t hace brown eyed kids. You obviously have blue eyes in your gene pool and your wife must too

Two brown eyed people could produce blue eyed offspring, if they both have the recessive traits hidden by the dominant brown eyed trait.

You just repeated what I said above. Idiot

Two people with the green eye color allele (brown is a variant) will have blue-eyed children 25% of the time. What you're looking for only works with two blue-eyed parents. They cannot have children with any other color eyes.

I still think it’s possible genetics are not as simple as people seem to think. Protein folding and mutation is effected by a lot of factors. Including environment.

Yeah, it's been a while but last time I took a biology class there were six alleles which determine eye color.

I honestly tend to agree. I think the dominant/recessive thing falls flat in a number of poorly understood cases. That said, it’s apparent that light-colored eyes are in imminent danger of being wiped out en masse like we’ve seen in Brazil. So I think we’re both right - the situation is sufficiently complex that the reality encompasses both our positions without contradiction.

They are in this case. Two blue-eyed parents cannot have children that have another eye color. It's not physically possible.

Having blue eyes means you don't have the gene for green/brown eyes. It doesn't exist in your genome - recessive or dominant. You cannot pass on a trait for which you carry no genes.

Well, her kids at least.

Nah I know they are mine. If they weren’t I probably would have bailed honestly I don’t think I could raise another guys kids. Like even the adoption conversation has happened because there are kids out there that need it and I’m not sure I could do it.

I don’t think I could raise another guys kids.

I had this conversation with my wife; when we first got married she asked if I'd be open to adoption if she couldn't get pregnant. I stopped laughing when I saw her face and then got serious too and said "unequivocally, no". But then we did become Godparents to my best friend's kid, but that just doesn't seem like the same thing.

You need more oestrogen in your diet an environment goy. You need to happily accept raising other men’s kids
