Can a brown eyed dad and blue mom make baby?

Yes, a brown-eyed dad and a blue-eyed mom can absolutely have a baby!

Here's why:

* Eye color is complex: Eye color isn't determined by just one gene, but by multiple genes.

* Dominant and recessive genes: Brown eyes are usually dominant, meaning even if a parent carries the gene for blue eyes, brown eyes will be expressed. Blue eyes are usually recessive, meaning both parents must carry the gene for blue eyes for it to be expressed.

* Combinations: The parents could both carry the gene for blue eyes, even if they don't express it. This means there's a chance their child could inherit two copies of the blue-eyed gene and have blue eyes.

It's important to note:

* There are no guarantees: While it's possible for a brown-eyed dad and a blue-eyed mom to have a blue-eyed baby, it's not a certainty.

* Other factors: Other genes and factors can influence eye color.

The best way to determine the potential eye color of their baby is to consult a genetic counselor or use a Punnett square to visualize the different combinations.
