It would depend on the brunette's genotype. If they are heterozygous for that trait, then the offspring could be any combination of blonde hair, brown hair, blue eyes, or brown eyes. If the brunette is homozygous dominant, then it's 100% sure the offspring will have a phenotype the same as the brunette.
Since the female has blue eyes, she must be homozygous for the blue-eyed allele. Therefore, her genotype would be bb.
Absolutely. Brown eyes are dominant. Green is a mutation.
Yes, if there is brown eyes in the family, then yes, it is possible.
A genotype can tell what genes you have in your chromosomes. Genotypes really means what are all your genes and phenotype is what you see. You may have brown eyes. Your genotype might show that you have brown and blue genes for eye color but you see only brown.
The genotype that has two different alleles is heterozygous
The mother's genotype is rr. The daughter would inherit one recessive allele from her mother because her mother has only recessive alleles. Because the daughter is green eyed, she would inherit a dominant allele from her father. The brown-eyed daughter's genotype would be Rr.
GeneticsYes, it's possible for a pair of blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed offspring. It all depends on each parent's genotype, and which trait comes from the dominant or recessive allele.
A genotype is having a specific gene pair. A phenotype is a specific appearance. For instance, with eyes, the brown gene is dominant over the blue gene, so a person with the brown-brown, brown-blue or blue-brown genotype will have a brown-eyed phenotype. If they have a blue-blue genotype, they will have a blue-eyed phenotype. (it's actually way more complicated, because there's a number of eye color genes and there's a hierarchy (or possibly even a cyclical network (a la rock paper scissors - brown>blue>green>brown)) of dominance in the genes, but you get the idea.)
A simple way to demonstrate the possibilities of the eye color of the offspring is to divide the potential outcomes into four categories, pairing two chromosomes into each. The outcome is three to one that the child will have brown eyes.

"Blond, blue-eyed Swedes are the stereotypical genotype of the Scandinavian countries.

The white eyed female fruit fly has two recessive traits for eye color. The genotype would be xx for example.
yes, if his wife is brown eyed
Absolutely. Brown eyes are dominant. Green is a mutation.
Yes, if there is brown eyes in the family, then yes, it is possible.
