In humans, having wet earwax is a dominant trait. having dry earwax is recessive. A man has two recessive alleles and a woman has two recessive alleles, if this man and women have a child, is it possible for their child to have wet earwax? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes this is possible. Both parents may have two different types of earwax, but if you read carefully it says wet earwax is the dominant trait. Have you ever heard of a Punnet Square? If you do you should use one for this type of question.
