Blue eye color vrs Brown eye color?!
Question: Blue eye color vrs Brown eye color?
Her father has brown eyes. His parents have brown eyes/greenish eyes.
I have blue eyes. My parents have blue eyes.
If there is a chance someone else might be her father, could I tell by her eyes before getting a paternity test.?
Answers:
Eye color paternity testing is designed to help determine if the alleged father can be excluded it can not tell if the father is the biological father if is not excluded. I work for Identigene DNA testing center.
Based on the eye colors the alleged father can not be excluded as the biological father, which means that he could possibly be the biological father of your child. If there is a possibility that someone else is the father, the only way to know for sure is to have a paternity test completed.
Take a look at our eye color paternity test!

I always thought all babies started out with blue eyes and, at some point, the eyes became the "final" color. I am not sure what age this happens, maybe your doctor would know if the final color has developed yet.
Anyway, assuming blue eyes is the final color, because the "suspected father", has brown eyes and brown is the dominant color (and it seems his parents are obviously not "pure-bred" brown eyes) he could very easily have one brown and one blue eye gene and thus have brown eyes himself but transfer the blue eye gene to your daughter. Because you have blue eyes, you only have blue eye genes to give to your daughter.
Thus, the combinations are:
Br = brown eyes (dominant), bl = blue eyes (recessive)
You bl/bl; him Br/bl (probably)
Possible combinations: bl/Br, bl/bl, bl/Br, bl/bl, thus, 50% probability of having blue eyes.
However, this doesn't mean the "suspect" HAS to have been the father, only that it is POSSIBLE that he COULD have been the father.
Blue is recessive to brown, so it would be less likely, but not impossible her brown eyed father is her actual father. You can't tell for certain. Get the test done. You owe it to the man that is raising her not to pay for your mistake. He may choose to care for her anyway, but he shouldn't have to.
