Parents: Homozygous brown-eyed (M) - B B
blued-eye (F) - b b [since blue (b) is recessive then and brown (B) is dominant then
in order for the blue gene to
show the you need double recessive or the brown
gene absent

Offspring:
So based on the Punnett cross then you realize that all the possible of spring carry the genotype B b and as such the phenotype brown eyes
In mice, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue (b). A homozygous brown-eyed male mouse-example-1
