Answer: Assuming that the two persons carry h0m0zygous alleles, the probability of them having a child with round eyes is 0%, while the probabilty of them having a child with almond eyes is 100%

Your textbook/teacher will probably be looking for the above answer, but just incase, here's some more detail:

Let's say almond eyes are dominant (we'll symbolize them as "A") while round eyes are recessive (we'll symbolize those as "a")

AA and AA parents:

0% chance of round eyes

100% chance of almond eyes

Aa and AA parents:

0% chance of round eyes

100% chance of almond eyes

Aa and Aa parents:

25% chance of round eyes

75% chance of almond eyes
