I'm pretty sure yeah, but does someone have more knowledge of how genes work?

Me, my mom and my grandma on mother's side have brown eyes, everyone else has blue/green eyes

Eye color is a polygenic trait primarily controlled by the HERC2 and OCA2 genes on chromosome 15, where HERC2 acts as a genetic switch that can turn off OCA2's melanin production to produce blue or green eyes. Because your father has light eyes, you are a mandatory heterozygote (Genotype: \(Bb\)); you express the dominant brown allele (\(B\)) but secretly carry a recessive light allele (\(b\)). You have a 50% chance of passing this recessive allele to your offspring, meaning your children will have blue or green eyes (\(bb\)) if they also inherit a recessive light allele from the other parent.

Basically, you carry a hidden gene for blue/green eyes from your family, even though your own eyes are brown. Eye color is determined by pairs of genes; brown is dominant and wins the battle for your eyes, but you still have a 50% chance of passing your hidden light gene to your kids. If your partner also contributes a light gene, your child will have blue or green eyes.

Wow this is probably the best answer I could have gotten, thank you very much

Blue and green eyes are both recessive alleles within genes meaning majority brown is the dominant allele making it more common to recieve

if two sides of your family both hold blue/green eyes its a small possibility to be born with them but brown eyes will be most common

Obviously it depends on who you marry. If she also has green eyes then it's ~25%.

But then again it would depend upon her family history and such

U have recessive green/blue eye gene and dominant brown eye so if u get with a blue/green eyed foid its maybe 25% to 50 depending on her family genetics
