to change his or her eye phenotype. Suppose a man with blue eyes (bb) marries a woman who appears to have blue eyes and together they have five children. Listed below are three possible outcomes. For each of the outcomes, predict the woman's genotype.a. All 5 children have brown eyesb. Three have blue eyes and 2 have brown eyesc. All 5 chldren have blue eyes
