Answer:

EeWw

Step-by-step explanation:

The allele for the earlobe is depicted as e while that of the hairline is w.

A parent that is homzygous recessive for earlobes (ee) and homzygous dominant for hairline (WW) would have the genotype eeWW.

The other parent that is homzygous dominant for unattached earlobes and homzygous recessive for hairline would have the genotype EEww

eeWW x EEww

During meiosis, each genotype will form gametes.

eeWW: eW, eW, eW, eW

EEww: Ew, Ew, Ew, Ew

These gametes will randomly unite during fertilization to produce offspring. Since the same gametes are formed by each parent:

eW x Ew

offspring

100% EeWw (see the attached image for the Punnet's square)

The genotype of all the children would be EeWw and would phenotypically be with unattached earlobes and dominant hairline.
