In humans, having wet earwax is a dominant trait. Having dry earwax is recessive. The man has one recessive allele and one dominant allele and his phenotype is that the man would be dominant with wet earwax.

a) A woman has two dominant alleles. What is her phenotype?

B) if this man and woman have a child, is it possible for their child to have dry earwax? explain.

Answer: what type of question is this but the answer would be be because he still has one recessive trait if the woman has a dominant trait both dominant traits and he has one dominant trait and recessive trait they have a 75% chance of coming out with wet earwax and a 25% chance coming out with dry earwax because there's always that possibility because of that recessive trait it's rare but a possibility

Her phenotype is to have wet earwax

No, the woman has 2 dominate traits and the man has 1 recessive, they need atleast 1 each
