yes. the changes are that they will either get brown or hazel are you have the genes closest to the children. Although there’s a small possibilty the gnees could skip a generation and the child could have the same coulor eyes as you parents or even granparents

Answer #3

There is a handy chart and article at docshop.com here…

that explains some of the basics of eye-color inheritance.

If you want to go into some of the science behind eye-color inheritance, however, things are going to get a lot more complicated. The general rule of “brown = dominant, blue = recessive” is falling by the wayside as more becomes understood about how genes express themselves. Single-letter variations of the DNA of a gene, for instance, can have a huge impact on how much pigmentation that gene produces and what color your child’s eyes will be.

Discover has an article summing it up here: http://discovermagazine.com/2007/mar/eye-color-explained

Answer #4

Most likely, their eyes will be brown because brown would be the dominant gene.
