Eye color is an inherited trait influenced by more than one gene. If both parents are heterozygous the above case is possible. go through the website given below you will get more information about eye color genetics. Hope this will help you.

sure can. brown eyes and brunette hair color and carry either full dominant gene where all offspring will be brown eyes with brunette hair color. Where there are also individuals that carry dominant and recessive alleles. Only one out of four children could be the blonde blue eyed child and all others brown eyed brunettes, half of which carrying the dominant and recessive alleles.

The brown eyed gene is dominant to the blue eyed gene. That's why brown eyes are just generally more common. The child might have had blue eyes if the mother's parents had had blue eyes, it's hard for me to explain, i'm so god damn tired! So the answers C?

Yes. Blue (and blonde) are recessive genes, so you must have 2 recessive genes to display those traits.
Brown (and brown) are dominant, so you could have 1 dominant gene and 1 recessive gene, but still display the dominant trait. So if both parents have 1 dominant gene and 1 recessive gene, then they both could pass on the recessive gene to the child, giving the child the 2 recessive genes to display the recessive trait.

yes, because the man and woman can each have one blue allele to donate to the child (brown being their other allele obviously). Since, blue is recessive then they must both donate a blue allele to the child. Hair is determined by many alleles, so the man and woman could be donating only light haired alleles to the child.

Yes they could. But two blond-blue-eyes could not have a brown-brunette.
