No. It's actually more common to have brown eyes than blue or green eyes. The connection between hair color and eye color is irrelevant; they are controlled by different genes.

If you are a child, being blond is not unusual. Often, the hair will darken later, possibly to a light brown.

It is true, that brown eyes is more dominant over blue and green, I was born with platinum blonde hair, and even now my hair is still a light-ish blonde, and I have brown eyes. Blonde hair and brown eyes, is actually the third rarest hair and eye color combination, in the world, next to red hair and green (blue) eyes, and black hair and green eyes. So, it's not completely RARE, but it isn't common.

You have 28 pairs of chromosomes and one says hey you will have blonde or brown hair (because maybe blonde and brown is in your family) and brown is dominet which means it will show up on your head and blonde is restive which means it is very uniquely to show up. And this is same with eyes, ear lobes, hair, and other ways you are you!

No, it isn't. I know plenty of people with blonde hair green eyes. Infact, it's more common to have blonde hair and green eyes than brown hair green eyes.

Are dark brown eyes rare?

Yes! brown eyes are dominint over all the other colors see brown eyes are a reflection of beauty in a person if you have brown eyes that means theres a 4/5 chances you'll be sucssessfull and beautiful when u grow up!


Is it rare to have gray eyes and brown hair?

No, but it depends on the country. In Europe there are many people with blue eyes. In Africa, few people have blue eyes. A 2002 study found that about 33.8% of whites in the United States have blue eyes. it used to be rare but now there are more cards more cards have become rarerActually it is rare,The gene of brown eyes is dominant over the gene of the blue eyes,I learned it with a capital B en small b,and than the capital is stronger than the normal one,and you have 2 of them, and you only have blue eyes when you have bb,BB en Bb will be brown,so yes, they are quite rare


If both parents have brown hair and eyes can there baby have blond hair and blue eyes?

yes it is very possible. it all has to do with a gene pool but simply YES! -Actually, it is theoretically impossible. Blonde hair is a recessive trait, so both alleles must be the same, represented here as "hh". In order for the eyes to be brown, a dominant trait must be present, represened as "H" here. So it would either have to be Hh or HH. However, if both parents have blonde hair, there can only be two "hh"s in the gene pool. When the egg is fertilized, the only possible traits on the gametes are "h"s. There can be no dominant genes, since both parents have blonde hair and the brown hair gene would mask the recessive blonde gene. And the same goes for eyes, since blue is recessive in eye color and brown is dominant. The blue eyes are indicated with a "bb", and brown eyes as either "Bb" or "BB". Since both parents have blue eyes, the only possibility for each parent is "bb", and each parent giving on allele means one parent can give b or b, and the other parent can only give b or b. No matter how it goes, the end result will always be "bb". So to summarize, no. Two parents that display a recessive trait always produce an offspring showing that trait. Two brown-haired brown-eyed parents can, however, have a blonde-haired blue-eyed child, if both parents are heterozygous, meaning have "Hh" and "Bb". I hope this answer made sense to you, and that I explained it well and didn't ramble to an excessive degree.


How rare is black hair and blue eyes?

The occurrence of crossing over those two genes is more rare because they are farther apart on the chromosome than dark hair and dark eyes or light hair and light eyes; dark hair and light eyes are about as uncommon as light hair and dark eyes. Depending on the area of the world, it can be either very common or very uncommon. In some areas, like Ireland, it can be more common because when there are more people with that combination of genes procreating, it is more likely for the child to have dark hair and light eyes.


Will your kid have red hair if you have brown hair and blue eyes but your partner has red hair and brown eyes?

recessive genes. the gene for brown eyes and curly, dark hair are dominate, but blue eyes and straight light hair can pop up two or three generations later.Answerboth my parents have brown eye but both my grandpa's have blue eye. I have blue eyes. something to do with recessive and dominant genes. AnswerBoth of the above answers mention Recessive Genes but do not really explain how they work so I will try to explain. Every gene in the body has a copy from each parent called Alleles. Each gene may be one of two forms (like brown or blue eyes). The reccessive allele is given a lowercase letter and the dominant allele is given the uppercase letter. So BB means both alleles are for brown eyes, bb means both alleles are for blue eyes and finally Bb means there is one allele of each. For a recessive trait to appear both the alleles must be for this trait but if any of the alleles are for the dominant genes then the dominant trait will show. So for if you wife has blue eyes her alleles are bb but you might have BB or Bb. If your child has blue eyes then you must be Bb. Each parent passes only one of there alleles onto the child so your wife will have to pass on one of her b alleles. For the child to be blue eyed it must have received your b allele not you B allele to make it bb and thus have blue eyes.

Why are angels always portrayed with blue eyes and blonde hair?

I'm no expert, but it's probably because the blue eyes/blonde hair combination is so rare and it looks somewhat otherworldly. Something like 10 percent of the world population have blonde hair and blue eyes. The Catholic Church is also a very Western institution, and in terms of beauty, a blonde and blue eyed woman has been considered the ideal in Europe for centuries.

Is my brown hair and green eyes rare i ask because when people see me this is the first thing they notice and tell me that i have a rare face?

Yes! Green eyes are actually one of the rarest eye colours out there. Some may argue that violet eyes are, but really, violet eyes (I won't get too technical) are blue eyes but the way that the blood vessels are make them appear to have a purple tint. Excluding violet eyes, only 1-2% of the world has green eyes, many of Celtic/German descent. Furthermore, anybody who is born with green eyes usually also have blonde hair. So, the fact that you have brown hair also makes you more rare. I have the same thing - I have dark brown hair with emerald green eyes and people tell me as well that I have a rare face. Many believe that blue eyes are more rare - but think about it - how many people do you personally know with green eyes?
