What Determines a Baby’s Eye Color?

Your children inherit their eye colors from you and your partner. It’s a combination of mom and dad’s eye colors – generally, the color is determined by this mix and whether the genes are dominant or recessive.

Since the inheritance of eye color is polygenic, eye color traits are influenced not only by one gene but by various genes. Simply put, what determines a baby’s eye color includes:

 -Parents’ eye colors
 -If parents are homozygous or heterozygous dominant for a specific color
 -If parents’ eye color genes are dominant or recessive

Understanding Gene Dominance

Every child carries two copies of every gene – one comes from mom, and the other comes from dad. If it’s a homozygous match, that means that both copies from each parent are the same. If heterozygous, it means that each composition differs.

Genes from brown and green eyes are considered dominant, often determining what color eyes your baby will have if you and your partner have these colors. However, there’s still a chance that two blue-eyed parents end up giving birth to a baby with brown eyes! According to research by the University of Delaware, blue eyes are not determined by recessive genetics - eye color is determined by the interaction between a variety of genes. This is what makes baby eye color so unpredictable! 

According to World Atlas:

 -Between 55% and 79% of people worldwide have brown eyes.
 -Between 8% and 10% of people have blue eyes.
 -About 2% of people have green eyes.

What Determines a Baby’s Eye Color?

Your grandchildren inherit their eye colors from your child and their partner. It’s a combination of mom and dad’s eye colors. 

Generally, the color is determined by this mix and whether the genes are dominant or recessive.

-Parents’ eye colors
-If parents are homozygous or heterozygous dominant for a specific color
-If parents’ eye colors are dominant or recessive

However, since you played a part in the color of your own child’s eyes, it technically has an impact on what eye color the newborn baby may have.
