Please Help :)

Answer 2

1) Well attached earlobes are a recessive trait so their genotypes would be homozygous recessive. [Two small letters:)]

2)You can. If someone with unattached earlobes claims to be the heir, it is an impossibility with both parents being recessive. [I think you can thoroughly explain why]

3)It would be the dominate trait

4)BB and Bb [I'm using B as an example]

5)They could be. [I would prefer if you explained why]
