Hi,
Each pair of homologous chromosomes could have 4 possibilities for alleles like Brown - brown, Brown - blue, Blue - brown or Blue - blue.
Since each pair has 4 possibilities, then 3 sets of homologous chromosomes would have 4 possibilities each. 4 * 4 * 4 or 4³ = 64
The answer is e. 64. <==ANSWER
I hope that helps!! :-)
