Answer:

100% EE, 100% red eyes

Step-by-step explanation:

For an organism, the genotype refers to the genetic characteristics of the organism while the phenotype refers to the physical characteristics of the organism.

The red eyes (E) is dominant while the white eyes (e) is recessive.

Since both parents are EE, the genotype of their offsprings would be EE, EE, EE, EE

That is: EE Ă— EE = EE, EE, EE, EE

Hence the genotype is 100% EE.

Also, the phenotype is 100 red eyes.
