If both of the parents have attached earlobes what is their genotype?

The phenotypes of attached and unattached earlobes do not fit neatly into the Mendelian theory of two alleles for one trait, and there is a continuum of earlobe phenotypes. That said, unattached earlobes are a dominant trait, so if the individual is homozygous for unattached earlobes, all of her offspring will have the unattached phenotype, even if some or all of them are heterozygous.

Both you and your sister or bother have attached earlobes yet your parents have unattached earlobes unattached earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes what are the genotypes of your parents?
the gene is not shown in their chara ter
What is the probability that the offspring will inherit a PP genotype?
It depends on the parents' genes. If both parent have a Pp genotype, then the offspring has a 25% chance of having a PP genotype. But if both parents have a PP genotype then its 100%.
Is it possible to have attached earlobes if both of your parents have unattached earlobes?
Yes it is your possibility if the parents were both heterozygous(having different alleles) or hybrid with Aa and Aa, the genotypic ratio would be 1:2:1 so if you put it in a punnet square there is a 25% chance of AA, 50% chance of Aa and 25% chance of aa.
Are ear lobs that are attached dominant or recessive?
It was said earlier that, "Unattached earlobes are the dominant trait, twice as many people have unattached earlobes compared to attached." There is not actually any real proof that unattached earlobes are dominant. While more people may have unattached earlobes, attached earlobes are dominant. This was proved in a pedigree which covered three generations of extended families.
Can two parents who can taste ptc have a child who can't?
you cannot have children that can not taste PTC if both of the parents can both taste PTC because of the genotype , so therefor the children can taste PTC
Both you and your sister or bother have attached earlobes yet your parents have unattached earlobes unattached earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes what are the genotypes of your parents?
the gene is not shown in their chara ter
A child is born with attached earlobes but both parents have hanging earlobes. What are the genotypes and phenottypes fot the parents?
lets use "A" Aa and Aa aa
Have both parents got to have ear lobes to have a child with lobes?
No, (free) earlobes follow a simple genetic dominance relationship, where free earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes. Meaning that having one parent with free earlobes suffices for the child to also share that trait.
How do you understand that attachment of ear lobes are inherited?
Whether or not an ear lobe is attached at its base or not depends on whether or not that person's parents had attached earlobes or not. If both parents have attached earlobes, then their children will also have attached earlobes. If both parents have detached earlobes, then their children will also have detached earlobes. But if one parent has detached earlobes, while the other has attached earlobes, their child's earlobes may be detached, attached, or only slightly attached. This is because each parent provides part of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules that exist at the center of almost every human cell. Since the cells of the body don't "know" anything, they just follow the "instructions" that DNA provides them by building themselves according to how the DNA molecule says they should be built. How this actually works is a complicated chemical process that would be better answered in a separate question, but you don't need to know how it works, only that the result is this - children get some instructions for how to build their body from their mother, and some from their father. If the instructions agree, then the cells that make up the ear will grow a definitely attached or detached earlobe. If the instructions in the child's DNA disagree, then you might get a mix, or the cells might end up paying attention only to one set of instructions or another.

What genotype were both parents?
i don't know that's my answer

Can a child's genotype be different from that of both parents?
A genotype is decided from two alleles. One of these alleles comes from the father, and one comes from the mother. Thus it should be clear that the genotype can be different from both parents. For instance, suppose the father has genotype AA, and the mother has genotype aa. In this case, the child will have genotype Aa, which neither parent has.
What was the genotype of the offspring the did not share the parents' phenotype?
If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.
What will be the blood group of a child if the parents were bb?
If both parents are genotype BB, the child can only be blood type B. The child's genotype would also be BB.
What is the child's genotype if parents both have normal arches produce a child with flat feet?
Child's genotype would be homozygous recessive alleles (nn) and parents would both have heterozygous dominant alleles (Nn).
