Solve the problem.Eye color (brown or blue) of a child is determined by which of two alleles (B for the dominant brown allele or b for the recessive blue allele) the child receives from each of its parents. A person is considered heterozygous for a trait if their two alleles are different than each other. If two heterozygous parents (Bb) have children, we expect 1 out of every 4 of those children to have blue eyes. How many blue-eyed children would we expect out of 860 children born to two heterozygous parents?
A. 172 blue-eyed children
B. 645 blue-eyed children
C. 430 blue-eyed children
D. 215 blue-eyed children
