Well the woman has a recessive trait so her gene is ee and the man has browns, the dominant trait so his gene is either Ee or EE but one of their kids has blue eye which means the Man's genotype must be Ee

1. Woman's genotype ee The man's genotype Ee.

2. E e

e Ee ee

e Ee ee

That is the gentic cross and the ratio 1:1

3. The genotypes of the kids has to be Ee and ee

I hop this helps if more explaining is needed just email me at
