Yes, and the Mendel Laws explain this question.

But, according to the inheritance laws, that will depend on other characteristics of the genes, specifically the dominance of their alleles.

The result will vary depending on which cell is the one that possesses the dominant genes.

For example, a 6.25% probability is in favor of a result of an individual with brown hair and blue eyes if these alleles are recessives, while 54,25% are in favor of this result, if the alleles are dominant.
