Baby trait predictor tells me my hair color isn't genetically possible
So the predictor isn't scientifically based and is probably just gathering info on you.

Yep, just like those "password strength testers" back in maybe 2013?

Hello, I am in inspector of inspectors. I have reason to believe you may be a false actor. To keep your Reddit account in good standing please send me the three or four digit agent ID number on the back of your credit card. Thank you.
Hello, Why do you not reply to my messages?? I have sent 24 messages in the last half hour trying to figure out how to send you these numbers?? Please reply
Hello, I am a Nigerian prince with many million of dollar and I need you help. Kindly send me the small sum of 3600 America dollar so that I may escape those who wish to steal my money. When arrive I will pay to you a sum of 2 million America dollar. Your immediate response would be appreciated.
Hi I'm the government seems like you owe us a bunch of tax, I've sent instructions for you to pay me in bitcoin directly to my e wallet.

Why did you post all asterisks? Is it your password or something? Reddit must be auto-censoring it. Really cool they do that!
Fuck, you just reminded me of doing this to my friends in MSN days.
The number of them that fell for "msn won't let you post your password, see *********! Try it!"
What a wild and lawless time that was.
Lost my RuneScape account to exactly this back in the day.....
My poor adamant pickaxe :(
Oh wow how do I send my card info to you? Do you have a web site or do I just send it to you AIM ?
Or do I just post it here?
Fuck. The realization
Just hit me 12 years too late
There's probably no realization to be had here except that people like making stuff up. I can't speak for every password strength tester but the few popular ones I saw were all easy to verify by the code that they weren't sending it anywhere. Anyway, what are they gonna do with just a bunch of password that might be real or might be fake and no usernames? Obviously nothing since you haven't been hacked into the ground.
password lists?
Definitely forgot about those. So were those created by hackers that acquired everyone IP address and based off that stored those passwords in the cloud and were used to attempt to hack accounts? Any proof of this?

Some of your great grandparents were blond hair blue eye I’m 3rd gen American grandma was middle eastern and grandpa was German we finally have blonde hair in the great grandkids every one else is brown or black hair with brown eyes
Probably intentionally telling you it’s impossible so you send it to others.
Could be wrong but it will be like 12% chance your hair would be blonde and have blue eyes
Parents can have the traits you got recesivle. Like a class mate of mine who was the only red head in his immediate family but because his parents jad the trait he had chance being a red head and he was.
It's going off of the whole dominant and recessive genes thing, technically black hair is dominant over brown. But sometimes it's the recessive gene that gets used anyway. If it's an option within the pool, then it's possible.
Edit: read it wrong the first time but the statement stands even for blonde. Could be a further back relative, and each parent had the recessive gene from somewhere.
Poorly made predictor. Blonde is recessive to brown and black but dominant to red. Which allows blonde to skip generations like gingers often do.
Also hair genes don't strictly follow the biology 101 quadrants used to describe the basics of genes. Its often more of a spectrum as receive genes still affect the outcome.
Total side note, but I keep seeing people put ETA in there comments on Reddit but it doesn't stand for estimated time of arrival due to context - what other thing does it stand for that Reddit uses it for?
Edited to add
Hair color predictor here ,your baby will have brown or blond hair
Her recessive trait may be anime, so could be red, blue or green too.
A predictor doesn’t work when it comes to mutations.
Edit: a recessive gene is required first and she inherited it
It doesn't have to be a mutation tho. Her parents probably are heterozygous for those traits and she inherited the recesive gen.
It also doesn't work for traits that aren't as simple as a single-gene allele that's either dominant or recessive. As of right now we know that hair color is affected by ~120-170 different genes depending on who you ask--the hair colors of parents and grandparents can't accurately account for every one of those genes and whichever allele was passed to the child for each of them.
As a general rule, the single-gene traits and disorders have already been found and reckoned with. All the other traits and disorders with genetic components are complicated and multigenic.
My cleft chin is "impossible" based on the rudimentary single-gene version of that trait. That's when I learned that traits like that are much more complicated than they suggest in middle school biology.
Pretty much all of them are. The only exception I can think of is your blood type and a few recessive diseases.
Even then that only applies to the ABO blood type, I don't know if the various other blood groups are also single-gene, but you also don't typically learn about that in over simplified high school bio.
What’re they gonna do with the info of your family members hair color?
I'm just getting into the concept of "big data" and there seem to be two possible answers to a question like this: "who knows, but we'll see"; and, "we do know what it's useful for, and a human would never guess, and we'll never tell".
That.
Or...
It is and your mums got some explaining to do...
I thought I got curly hair from two straight-haired parents. Then I found out at age 35 that I was donor conceived.
Same, but I learned that my mom got raped by her ex boyfriend and my dad was a guy she was seeing casually at the time who chose to stay with her and raise me.
Well, that's a lot more traumatizing. I was kind of relieved to not be related to my dad's dumpster fire of a family (my dad was cool though).
The genes don't lie.
Isn’t that an old slogan of Levi’s?
Why would they add any logic if they just wanted info?
Or she’s adopted… jkjk
Or switched as a baby
Anything online which has a question about anything that relates to you is farming data on you.
Yeah. Recessive traits can hide for many generations.
Many. Like great great uncle had red hair. No one else for generations. Out pops a kid with orange hair.
That’s me lol
My parents had five kids, I’m the oldest. I’m the only one with red hair throughout my family and extended family. If I didn’t look a lot like my dad I’d be questioning my mom lol
Im also the only redhead. My mom has brown hair, dads is black. My 2 sisters are blonde and brunette. Well im not technically the only redhead now as my son got mine and his dad's red hair lol...
My brother is the only blonde! Both my parents have brown hair, as do I. But my grandfather, my dad, and my uncle all were blonde as children and developed brown hair over time. For some reason the blonde has stuck on my brother - he’s 23 now.
My other brother is adopted. My mom used to get all sorts of questions about the parentage of us three… a couple time at the grocery store by complete strangers!
Me, too. Grandma and Grandpa were blonde and brunette, Gma and Papa were dusty blonde and black, my Dad is almost white blonde, my mom is a strawberry blonde. My sister’s are black, strawberry blonde, and dusty blonde. I’m a dark redhead. The math isn’t mathing. My grandparents were obsessed with my hair as a kid and my grandpa was so upset when I dyed it the first time. Supposedly one of my distant family members (great aunt?) had fiery ginger hair so the gene is there somewhere
Assuming of course that nothing was introduced from outside - e.g. the mailman.
Even then redheadedness is recessive. So even if the mailman was a redhead, the kid being a redhead when the mother wasn't is still rare.
Maybe it was grandma and the mailman, not mom and the mailman
That’s the case with me. I have reddish hair but I was a full on redhead when I was little. My mom has dark brown hair, grandma had almost black hair, grandpa had brown/blonde hair. My dad had almost black hair, grandma had brown hair and so did grandpa. My maternal grandpa’s grandparents were Irish/Scottish and even they had brown hair. But here’s little redhead me ✌️
I was the same: no known redheads in recent memory; another sibling later turned up with it too.
We’ve got enough euro-mutt ancestry that it didn’t surprise anyone but there are folks who don’t believe that 4 brown-eyed people can become grandparents to a dozen blue eyed kids.
The genes which control for pigment production isn’t correctly described by the simple Mendelian table as OP’s site probably uses.
I've got curly hair, only other one known to anyone in my family was an aunt of mine (who also had red hair!) Nobody else with curls OR red.
Saw this with a lovely hispanic woman. Her grandmother was an Irish redhead, everybody else in her family was of Mexican ancestry. The genes skipped a generation, and she was born with very pale skin and bright red hair.
Can confirm. I have dark brown hair with hazel eyes while my husband has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Out pops a son with bright orange hair and grey eyes 🤪 mother in law has red heads on her side of the family. I can only speculate the grey eyes came from my father in law. No one on my side had such color combos!
Not a huge jump but I got my green eyes from my grandma, it happens🤷
You should give them back :(
Well shit no wonder she couldn’t see anymore
sure did in mine. I am light red-blond, blue eyed, pale skin. My parents and all my grandparents and great grandparents (according to my grandparents) have black hair and brown eyes (one grandparent is full Native American)
Those few Irish recessives just played hide and seek for generations.
ETA: my brothers and sisters also have dark hair and eyes and a few shades darker skin than I do)
(confirmed, 23andme test.. they are my relatives :D)
This. Everyone in my family has at least a hint of red that comes out under more or less specific circumstances. For me it's a weird angle of light on a sunny day and BOOM: a definitive reddish shine in my else brown-ish, blonde hair. For my Mom it was wanting to have blonde hair... the family "brown" and hydrogen peroxide nearly turned her into a carrot. Genes are weird.
That’s actually just to do with how dye lifts the colour and what is the most ‘stubborn’ in a sense to lighten. It’s why you can’t go more than a couple of shades blonder without bleaching first.
My dad is the first lefty in generations on his side. I’m the first and only lefty for my mom’s side. I’m curious how far back the recessive lefty gene is for my mom’s family
There’s still a lot of unknowns about handedness. Definitely some evidence that it runs in families, but there’s potentially 40 different genes or somesuch that possibly influence it, along with environmental factors.
Could it be that mom is not really a blonde?
My sister is 6'4 and I am 6'1. Nobody was that tall in our background except a great great great great grandfather who was 6'11. Both my granddaughters are just under 6'. So maybe height will stick around to the next generation.

I was born a redhead, around 4 or 5 my hair went from red to blond, and then it went brown in my teens.
If you look at the hairs on my hairbrush there will usually be red ones and blond ones mixed in with the brown. My facial hair also grows in pretty red.
Fortunately my partner's genetics kicked mine to the curb in our kids and they're able to go outside in the sun.
Little redheads can go out in the sun!
You either have to slather them in 100spf or your favorite bbq sauce.
Next time my littlest doesn't want to put sunblock on, I'm going to threaten him with the BBQ sauce.
He might take you up on that and now he's called your bluff.
From a kid's perspective, that sounds like they're quite literally threatening them with a good time.
Ketchup yes, but he hates BBQ sauce! 😂
well this little redhead burns like a tomato in the sun, 0/10 would not recommend
I was also a redhead when i was a kid, up untill middle school, now im dark brown. Funny enough, my father has black hair, which was dark brown when he was a little kid, and mother has very light brown, almost blonde (and was blonde when shebwas young).
And even more funny, my great great grandparent (who was born in like 189x had red hair and same hairline and density as me, and from pictures even looks like me in facial structure. I was also named after him, and still have his surname, and my grandparents tell me im his reincarnation lmao. All im missing niw is a mustache.
A mustache can be had for a price..... I'll give you a good deal on one. It has red, very dark brown, brown, and white. Assembly would be required, but you can assemble the colors in any pattern you wish.
Former redhead here with my mousey brown now, but like you I have reds and blonds mixed in. My son (3) has the most gorgeous strawberry blonde hair and I'm a little sad to think he'll grow out of it in a few years. What was weird is when he was born his hair was white, the nurses kept asking us where it was from as they'd never seen anything like it.
If I spend a lot of time in the sun the brown fades to a reddish color, but to do so involves epic scalp sunburns so it's only ever happened as a mistake.
My 4 year old daughter also has the most gorgeous strawberry blonde hair. Everywhere we go multiple people comment on it. I’m really hoping it stays a similar color as she gets older.
Captain Redbeard! Good buddy of mine I lived with was full blonde, but he had a nice red bushy beard whenever he let it grow out
I read this at first as look at the hairs on my toothbrush and got concerned lol
Everyone in my family for like the past 3 generations has apparently been born blond, but then transitioned to brown by the time they were like 5. I was the only holdout, as I was blond up until I was about 21. I still got some blond highlights in the sun, but I’m otherwise pretty much brown.
This tracks. My grandma had very light brown hair, and my mom was medium brown. My dad has black hair. My brother and I were born blonde, which turned to dark brown. My son was born with black hair, and my second kid was born blonde, which changed to dark brown. Their dad has black hair.
That's how mine was. Blonde until about 13 then started turning brown.
Years later, it all fell out.
Came to say this! I'm the same. All my siblings had light hair that turned brown, dad too. Mine stayed blonde
My dad has really dark hair but was blonde his whole childhood. I’m blonde but I have a red beard. My aunt and all her boys are genetic redhead anomalies being the only 4 gingers in the whole family. Genetics are weird man.
My mom was a natural blonde, and now she's a natural brunette. Both of us were born bright blonde, turned dirty blonde at puberty, and one day she decided to shave her hair off and it grew back brown.
There's also the fact that both parents can carry a recessive gene like blondeness and then have a blonde child.
That is exactly what happened to me. I was bleach-blonde as a little kid, and then it gradually turned to brown and been brown ever since.
I was going to suggest that about your dad. My dad's hair is black now but was blond when he was born. Mine was a light blond when I was around 5 but dirty blond now and getting darker as I age.
This is probably one of the mildest surprising things you can learn about your parents when you're older and they stop to care about hiding stuff 😉
I just tried the app as a redhead and got 0% that I would be a redhead. It’s wrong… 0% chance that I’m adopted recessive genes can go back further than just grandparents.

My dad has dark black hair. My mom has sandy blonde hair. My brother was born with bright red hair that darkened to be brown as he got older. But his beard still grows out red except his mustache which is dark blonde. Hair color is weird and unpredictable
Brown hair, Mustashe dark blonde, beard red. Your brother is a skyrim character who hit "randomize" for looks LOL
It doesnt look as crazy as it sounds, but the three areas are noticeably different colors
Carpet doesn't match the drapes
His body hair is actually black lol
It's not accurate. Genes go a long way back.
Source: I studied genetics.
Disclaimer: don't study genetics. It's shit
Why do you say not to study genetics? It's something I'm interested in studying in the future and want to make sure I'm not getting myself into trouble
Not OP, but as a general principle, avoid overly specific majors, unless you have very concrete ideas of what you want to do with that degree.
Ok, does this website apply Mendelian genetics? If so, it's total bs for the traits you want to look for. Eye colour is determined by multiple genes, plus it's actually a spectrum. Saying there are blue, green and brown eyes is pretty simplified. It's basically about amount and distribution of pigments in your irises. So brown-eyed parents can have a blue-eyed child and vice versa. Yeah, some combinations are more likely than others but not impossible. Same goes for hair colour (at least in caucasian parents).
Exactly, looking at it this way makes eye-color make much more sense. Both my parents had brown eyes, I have some grandparents with blue eyes, I'm the only one in the family (that I know of) with green eyes. Makes sense when you look at it as a spectrum of pigment rather than different types of eyes.
If Ned Stark had access to the Internet.
And today you learned you were adopted!
Ok, seriously, that really is odd...

Also what is considered brown or black or blond or red hair is culturally dependent. I have lived in four countries and people have described my hair as a different color in each county.

Also are you sure that your hair is definitely blonde? Although you don't share a photo of your hair it's possible that it would be considered brown also. I have met a few Scandinavian people who stayed blond until adulthood, but typically people's blond fades into a light brown.

genetically impossible
app shakes fist in anger at you.
/S
I am a blonde haired/green eyed child of 3 generations of dark haired, brown eyed people. I look just like a pale, washed out version of my dad. Genetics are funny. We did DNA testing as a joke, I’m his. He told me it “was too late now, I’m his regardless”.
A lot of brunettes started out as blonde. Both my parents were brunettes, I was born with white hair (not an albino). It turned brown in my teens.
My husband has dark brown hair. I was born with dark brown hair. Our daughter was born with blonde. She's 7 now and her hair has darkened up a little, goes from dirty blonde to light brown, but still much lighter than ours. Genetics are weird
My wife and I are both brown haired. Her's is dark brown, mine is nearly black. 2 out of three of the kids are blonde and the third started blonde and then went brown later.
Genetics doesn't works 100% on propabilitys, we use estatitics to get an appraise the options. Usually the "strenght" of recessive and dominant genes does follow the predictions, but is not unusual to deviate a little. If you filled that form correctly, your baby more likely to born with brown hair.
Black hair isn't a thing, genetically. It's just super duper dark brown and it's created by the same dominate gene that makes "dirty blonde". So that's wrong.. Hair isn't an exact science as there are WAY too many variables beyond the two genes you inherent from your parents. Even two absolute redhead parents, as in they ONLY have a pool of recessive red hair genes to draw from, can create a brown haired child. It's uncommon, but it happens.
So it has a good idea on whether your parents may have recessive traits, but it assumes grandparents don't have any they could pass down?
Entirely possible your dad’s hair is actually brown and you’ve just not paid close enough attention so far. Short cropped dark brown hair will look black in like 60% of all lighting scenarios
NOT GENETICALLY POSSIBLE
Ooohjh I can speak on this! Let me set some parameters
B =brown hair b= blonde hair
E= brown eyes e= blue eyes
So lighter hair colors are recessive, meaning that you need both alleles to express it. Blue eyes are recessive to brown eyes in this same fashion.
Both your parents are heterozygous, meaning they carry Bb and Ee alleles. You carry bb and ee as a result.
Therefore you have a 100% chance og passing a blonde allele and blue eye allele to your child.
assuming you know the fathers phenotype, if they’re blonde, with blue eyes, then so will your child, if they’re brown hair then it’s a maybe, but if they’re Hetrozygus like your parents, then they’re a 50% chance your child with have blonde hair and a 50% chance they will have blue eyes
If I remember my high school biology, hair color is 2 genes, a dominant and recessive and blond and red hair color are recessive. So yeah it is possible.
Might want to talk to your mom about this one…
Just kidding, lol. Not only are genetics more complex then the basic punnet square logic this website is most likely abiding by but I saw that your dad was a blonde as a child. But I’d definitely would use this to poke fun at my mom lol.
This is just a data harvester.
I think they weren’t playing attention in science class.
I was taught that blue alleles were recessive and brown alleles were dominant. So two blue eyed people couldn’t have a brown eyed baby. Two brown eyed people could have a blue eyed person though as the could both be harbouring recessive blue alleles.
I think that might also be a vast oversimplification.
It is. Genetic history doesn’t stop at your grandparents.
This app doesn’t seem to consider recessive traits
The app is wrong, hair color (and most genetic traits) are more complex than a single gene with dominant and recessive traits. There are many different genes that affect hair color and hair color can change through your life.
Recessive traits can skip several generations.
I don't know if someone already told you but CLOSE YOUR FUCKING TABS WHEN YOU ARE DONE. Thank you
blue eyes and blond hair are both recessive genes both your parents can have the recessive genes and not show it having brown hair/eyes you get 1 recessive gene for eyes and for hair from each parent then have blue eyes and blond hair.
Recessive genes was covered in my High School biology classes.
You can't really have two blonde, blue eyed parents having a brown haired, brown eyed kid, but it's fairly easy for the reverse to be true. That site is straight BS.
…yes you can lol because it’s not that simplistic
Hair and eye color are a lot more complicated than the punnet squares we drew in 9th grade bio. My grandpa was a redhead with brown eyes, my grandma a dark brunette with brown eyes. Mom was a redhead with brown eye, aunt 1 was a dark brunette with brown eyes, aunt 2 was (still is, even at 60) blonde with blue eyes. And they've all done (including grandparents) both 23 and Me AND ancestry DNA tests, so we know for a fact everyone is 100% related, no funny business going on there.
Post the Nedward Stark .gif of him reading that book
Both my kids were blonde when they were little, they are now both brunette. I had black hair until I hit puberty and now I have dark auburn (my grandfather was a redhead). The most annoying thing was everyone, even total strangers, telling me not to get used to my son's bright blue eyes because they "always change". Both grandmothers have blue eyes, but apparently that "didn't matter". Yeah, he still has the bright blue eyes. Genetics are trippy.
Recessive genes just entered the chat and would like a word…
This is dumb. My Dad has dark hair and eyes, my Mum has brunette hair and green eyes but all three of us kids had white blonde hair as kids and I have blue eyes.
How did this get 5K upvotes 😂
Brown eyes or hazel eyes? My partner and I are both dark haired and hazel eyes, two of our three children have blonde hair and blue eyes.
My Grand grand father was japanese. None of my living family has Asian traits... except me. I'm a red head with a "European face" BUT I've got almond eyes... Steel blue o.o
Gens can jump a few generations, something I would not think a website to toy around would take into consideration.
Sometimes genes are suppressed in parents that they might've gotten from their parents, grandparents or further back. For instance, my siblings and I all have blonde hair. Neither my parents have blonde hair. Where did it come from? My mom's brother also has red hair. He must've gotten it from a suppressed gene from my mom's parents, non of which has red hair. Same with eye color and freckles.
My niece (2) is blonde (albeit starting to become darker) hair, blue eyes, parents are brown hair and brown eyes. Their newborn (3 months) has darker hair but blue eyes. I'm not sure when, if there is one, of when your features become "permanent."
my entire family is red headed and Im fire blonde lol
It’s possible. About a 25% chance of blue eyes from brown eyed parents and the same for blond from dark haired parents.
My parents have brown hair & eyes. My brother has red hair & brown eyes & I have blue eyes & red hair. Only blue eyes in family is my grandfather. Genetics are wild.
I tried this too and got the same thing 🤣 even though my husband and I both strongly resemble our dads (and clearly came out of our moms)
It's the same thing for eye color. By generic charting, parents with blue and brown eyes cannot have a child with green eyes. But that's exactly what happened to me. There's so much more that goes into hair and eye color than two genes from each parent.
It's definitely funny when I find charts that say there's a 0% probability of my situation.
Both of my parents have curly hair, mine is stick straight. Both of my parents have brown eyes, mine are blue. Sometimes the genetics just don’t be geneticing.
I remember doing this for my brothers eye colour. Fodder for months.
Beyond what everyone else is saying about this just being bunk, actual geneticists are not totally sure exactly how it all works.
My kid has blue eyes. My wife has brown. Shouldn't be very likely right? Sure it can happen. Blah blah. Well, my mom's side of my family is huge. There are 25 grandkids (including myself). 23 of us have blue eyes.
Yeah don't trust these things. My son is a red head and the last red head on my side of the family was 5 generations ago. My wife is hella ginger though it has a high likelihood. He is also 100% my son I know that for sure before any trolls show up.
You're probably a mutant!
Seriously, though--despite their relatively simple Mendelian presentation, eye and hair colour are still complex processes of genetic inheritance and patterns of activation.
Short answer, your recessive genes are showing. More complete answer, even 'simple' genetic processes are not quite as simple as high school biology would lead you to believe
[Also, there's a non-zero probability it might just be a chance non-deleterious mutation]
Likely your dad's hair is not actually black but a really dark brown. This is how my hair is and I've actually had arguments with people who kept trying to tell me my hair was black.
Totally wrong, I’m the same as you. Test doesn’t go back far enough
You can’t exist, begone from the matrix! Also congrats on your pregnancy.
It's an online genetics generator. Don't expect any accuracy
Could be that you mixed up someone's natural hair color? For example, my hair color straight up looks fully brown in passing, but it's actually just very dark blonde, and it was fully blonde when I was a little kid and grew darker post puberty. Which is the case with a lot of brown haired people, actually being dark blondes.
Bs. That’s not how genetics work.
Hair and eye color are complex traits, not governed by single genes in either case. So lots of outcomes are possible (but certain outcomes are more likely).
My aunt and uncle are both very dark haired. All three of their girls are blonde/sandy blonde.
Isn't hair color an "incomplete dominance" and way more complicated than just dominant/recessive traits?
Take a lesson from Ned Stark and don't examine or look into this too much.
I once talked to a girl in high school after she got out of some science class I wasn’t in, and she ended up trying to convince me that my sister is genetically impossible. She was absolutely positive my sister couldn’t exist because of her silly little punnet squares.
My sister is right handed, both my parents are left handed. So am I. She’s 100% my sister, DNA tested. This girl was so dead set on my sister being “impossible”. I was like well… I don’t know what to tell you, she exists, is biologically related to us, and is right handed. She seriously wouldn’t look at me after that. She was so mad that what she just (thought she) learned in class didn’t apply to the real world at all. I was like whelp, believe what you want to, but she’s a real person.
That’s absolutely nonsense.
Blue eyes are a recessive trait and very easy to get from two dark eyed people if it’s in their family.
My brother and his wife had two blonde kids. They are very clearly related to us, particularly as adults.
They both had dark brown hair. I’m pretty sure blonde is another recessive.
The genetics aren’t even that strict, but you get the general idea.
My sister and I have brown hair with bright yellow highlights when light hits it. People will ask us where we get our hair done, then say we're lying when we say it's natural. Our kids (that we had with other people Reddit) have the same hair.
Yep. I don't think this site is accurate. My brother and I are both blond
Blonde hair is recessive so it is very possible your mom and/or dad are carriers. If your dad is a carrier then he’s likely a strawberry blonde. If his hair is red red and your mom passed down the blonde gene then maybe you’re the strawberry blonde. Strawberry blonde varies from pretty red to pretty blonde and I only know basics so I could be wrong about you guys lol.
According to many websites/people, my eye colour apparently isn’t possible. I have green eyes and my parents have brown eyes and blue eyes. I don’t know of any relatives who have green eyes but I’m not adopted or anything. Genetics are much more complicated than people claim
That is completely false. Have blond hair and blue eyes is a recessive trait. So someone with a brown eye allele and a blue eye allele will have brown eyes. If they marry another brown eyed person with one brown eye allele and one blue eye allele, there is a 1/4 chance they will have a blue eyed child. That is what happened to me. I have blue eyes and blond hair and both my parents have brown hair.
Use a punnet square
For the Mother here to have blonde hair with both her mother and father being brown and blonde hair, means that both of her parents would have needed to have had the recessive blonde allele. Which means that they would have been fair haired when they were born. So you probably should find out if one of your parents was born with blonde hair and it darkened over time.
Hopefully, you are not like me. I did a DNA test and found out the father named on my birth certificate is not my father. To top it off, my mom was adopted. I figured out who my father was and her mother and father were through Ancestry.
I have brown eyes my dad has green my mom has hazel... hol up
Two blonde people can’t have a black haired child, or probably a brown haired child because blonde is the recessive gene. Maybe red - that’s more complex. But since brown and black are dominant, they can hide blonde genes and nearly anything is possible!
Anything is possible with random mutation
This is not a scientifically based tool.
Almost everyone in my family has brown hair. My dad's parents. Three of their four kids, but one is blonde. There are nine of us cousins, one (belonging to the blonde mom) is blonde and has a brunette sister. The blonde has two very blonde kids with her brunette husband.
I think the website you are using is confused about how genetics work.
Something else to know: hair color isn't necessarily a set property. My dad had brown hair, my mom is blonde, and I was born with shockingly white-blonde hair that steadily grew darker as I got older. By the time I was 5, it was a light platinum blonde. It had darkened to more of a natural blonde by the time I was 10. As a teenager, it was an ash blonde, what some people call "dishwater" blonde. It rapidly darkened throughout my 20's and 30's, and aside from a large amount of grey streaking it, I'd say my hair is more reddish-brown with a few very dark blonde streaks and isn't really identifiable as blonde at all anymore.
Even if it was based on science, it would most likely use a simple punnet square and completely ignore that punnet squares are only truly an accurate way to predict a trait if that trait is only influenced by one gene. It would also have to ignore that nongenetic factors can influence gene expression.
It’s rare, but it’s possible for two blue eyed parents to have a brown eyed child. It’s also possible for genetically identical twins to have different hair or eye colors.
Hair color is a lot more complex than just dominant/recessive genes. There’s something like a dozen different genes that contribute, and that’s assuming no minor mutations after the fetus is conceived. And there’s different genes that may be activated the more we age. How many blonde babies have you seen that end up with much darker hair?
Eye color is similar. Genetics is a lot more “it depends” than it was 40 years ago.
Nah the truth is your mother isn’t your mother but don’t tell her she doesn’t know your actual mom is the blonde maillady
Husband and I are dark haired and dark eyed, and two of our three kids are blue eyed, and one has reddish hair. And as the maternal side of the genetics I'm very sure they all had the same dad. Recessive genes and the genetic lucky dip are a blast.
Check out the UK inter racial couple who had fraternal twins who each took after one particular parent.
I’ve tried a few of these after seeing your post because I’ve always wondered how my brother and popped out with blonde hair and blue eyes having parents that are brown hair and brown eyes. turns out my only relative with somewhat recessive genes is my grandfather (red hair blue eyes) and despite no one else in my lineage having even close to this, my brother and I were like magnets for those recessive genes! Genetics are cool
Due to OP not being able to edit post: She has already taken a DNA test previously and everything was fine.
