althought this is a bit simplistic, blue eye color a result of two recessive genes - in comparision to brown eye color which is a dominant gene - such that in the possible combinations
B=brown gene b=blue gene
BB = Brown eyes
Bb = Brown eyes
bB = Brown eyes
bb= Blue eyes
so that brown eyes are more common, at least in your lab experiment or if mating was truly random.

There will be more brown than blue. As the genres for brown eyes are more dominate. The only time that the child will get blue eyes is if both parents have blue, but sometimes there will be a throw back to blue eyes even if the both parents have brown.
If a parent has blue and the other has brown the child will have brown, but if the one parent of the brown eyed parent has blue eyes there is one in four chance the grandchild will have blue eyes.

Yup. You have to count all the Africans as brown eyes and all the Chinese.
Now if you meant more brown eyes in caucasians than blue eyes, the answer is no.

I believe are more brown eyes.
In my 6th grade health class our teacher pointed out that I was the only kid in the class that had brown hair & blue eyes, that I was unusual, in compaireson to the other children.
Well... she didn't know what she was talking about, there are tons of people colored like me out there.
Sorry for the rant.

I think so (because the blue color is a recessive gene, while the brown is a dominant one).

+ Firstly I assume you are talking human eyes.
Yes it is a trait seen mostly in the Caucasians and it is no more than 50/50 with them. Black and Asian have almost all brown eyes.
