Answer 1

The chances will be 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The chances are 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

A dominant allele is the allele that expresses itself in the offspring even if it is present in heterozygous condition(Bb). So when a woman with homozygous dominant(BB) condition of brown eyes reproduces with a man having recessive blue eyes(bb) then all the offsprings with heterozygous dominant condition for brown eyes will be produced.

B B

b Bb Bb

b Bb Bb

All the offsprings will have one dominant allele which is enough to produce brown eyes therefore all the offsprings will have brown eyes. So the chances are 100%.
