The allele for brown eyes (B) is dominant over that for blue eyes (b).
A brown eyed woman (BB/Bb) marries a blue eyed man (bb).
Possibility 1
Parents - BB × bb
Offspring - Bb
Possibility 2
Parents - Bb × bb
Offspring - Bb, bb
Now, since out of 6 children, 4 are brown eyed and 2 are blue eyed, it implies that the woman is heterozygous for brown eyes with genotype (Bb).
Therefore,
a) The genotype of blue eyes offspring will always be bb.
b) The woman's genotype is Bb.
