genotype of the brown eyed parent?
.
A. Bb
.
B. None of these
C.BB
D. bb

A person with brown eyes has children with a person with blue eyes. If all the children are brown-eyed, that means the genotype of the parents is BB. So, the correct option is C.

What is a punnet square?

A square diagram is used to predict the genotype and thus the phenotype of the offspring when the genotype of the parents is known.

In a punnet square, the gametes formed from the genotype of one parent are written across the top row and gametes formed from the genotypes of another parent are written across the left corner.

The gametes are then crossed with each other to predict the genotype and thus the phenotype of offspring.

If one parent is brown-eyed, their genotype could be either BB or Bb. If the other parent is blue-eyed, their genotype is bb.

Now if all their children are brown-eyed. The genotype of the brown-eyed parent would be BB.

If the genotype of the brown-eyed parent was Bb, there would be two offsprings with genotype Bb and two offsprings with the genotype bb.

Therefore, the correct option is C
