Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue eyes are a recessive trait while Brown eyes are a dominant trait. Two recessive traits = the recessive trait. One dominant trait + one recessive trait = the dominant trait.

Answer:

Brown eye genes are more dominant than blue or green eye gene. He most likely got the brown eye gene from his mother. People don't necessarily have blue eyes just because their parents do. Both parents are probably heterozygous for blue eyes.
