Hi
As per the information mentioned in the question, your
genotype is BbFf
for the two traits, i.e eye color and hair color.
As per the studies of human genetics, the gene for
Brown eye color B is dominant over the gene of Blue eye color b.
Moreover the phenotype blonde and
brown are determined by two alleles of a gene F and f ,
here F allele represents the dominant allele for brown hair and f represents a recessive allele that codes for blonde hair.
So, now we know that if you are of
genotype BbFf,
you will have Brown eyes and Brown hair. This is because you are
heterozygous
for both the traits and only one copy of dominant allele is enough to get the dominant traits expressed.
Hope this helps!
