B. Law of Dominance
C. Law of Mendel
D. Law of Independent Assortment

heterozygous
Brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue eyes (b). Draw a punnett square that shows a homozygous dominant parent crossed with a heterozygous parent to show the percent chance of the offspring having blue eyes.
Genotypes from the offspring: BB or Bb, so the chance of the offspring having blue eyes is 0%.
