Having wet earwax (w) is a dominant trait in humans, and having dry earwax (w) is recessive. a father has the genotype ww, and the mother has the genotype ww. a) what is the father's phenotype? (2 points) b) what is the mother's phenotype? (2 points)

a) Wet ear waxed father

b) Wet ear waxed mother

Explanation:

Having wet earwax is a dominant trait in humans , represented by "W"

Having dry earwax is a recessive trait in humans , represented by "w"

When a dominant and recessive trait occur together, only the trait associated with the dominant allele is expressed.

Now  a cross is being carried between two parents having following genotype

Father - "WW"

Mother - "Ww"

a) The fathers phenotype would be "wet earwax" as both the alleles "W" are dominant allele and thus father is a "dominant wet ear waxed homozygous father"

b) The phenotype of mother is "Wet earwax" as when a dominant and recessive trait occur together, only the trait associated with the dominant allele is expressed. Thus, mother is a "wet ear waxed heterogyzous mother"

so whats the answer
