Answer 1

If the parents reproduce and create an offspring, the offspring will definitely have red hair and most likely have brown eyes.

This is because both parents have red hair so they must be homozygous for that character, and as the mother has brown eyes, which is dominant, it is more probable that the phenotype will be expressed by their offspring.
