<u>50%</u> of offspring will have brown eyes
Explanation:
A heterozygous individual will have the genotype <em>Rr </em>while an individual who is homozygous recessive will have the genotype <em>rr.</em> A cross between the two will result in offspring with phenotype <em>Rr</em> and <em>rr</em> in the ratio of 1 : 1. This can be observed from the Punnet square attached. The same is the case for the phenotype. The ration of brown eyes to red eyes will be approximately 1 : 1
