And none of the grandparents or sisters/brothers of the childs parents have brown. Its mostly blue and hazel on both sides

sure, the parents probably have two recessive traits, green and blue eyes, and for the child the dominant trait showed up, brown eyes
in a simple way, a baby gets one of two variations of a gene from each parent
dominant trait is dominant because when it is paired with a recessive, it shows up instead of the recessive one. recessive traits only show up when the baby gets the same two recessive traits from the parents
all other choices will make the baby get brown eyes
in this case my teacher said that brown eyes is a dominant trait

Yes unless there is absolutely no one on the wife's or husband's side of the family who is a blood relative who has brown eyes.

More often then not the kid doesnt have brown eyes in that scenario but its definatly possible...The brown gene comes from the parents relatives whether its the parents father/mother/grandfather/grandmother/ and so on.
