Dominant trait: unattached earlobes (C)
Recessive trait: attached earlobes (c)
If dominant alleles in both parents' genes are expressed, the
offspring will be born with unattached earlobes. In the other hand, if
both parents are born with attached earlobes, it is unlikely for them
to have an offspring with unattached earlobes because they both
have recessive alleles, and the dominant trait is unattached earlobes,
whereas attached earlobes is recessive. Attached earlobes are not
contemplated infrequent, but it's not commonly located.

Autosomal Dominant Inheritance

Attached earlobes and unattached earlobes are
determined by a single autosomal gene with two alleles.
The allele for unattached (C) is more common than the
allele for attached earlobes (c). It demonstrates how the
earlobe trait was passed down over the generations
within a family.
