100 percent unattached earlobes
C
100 percent ee
D
100 percent attached earlobes

Explanation

The homozygous unattached-earlobe parent has genotype EE, and the homozygous attached-earlobe parent has genotype ee. Each offspring receives E from the first parent and e from the second, so all offspring are Ee. The correct choice is “100 percent Ee.”
