If both parents have detached ear lobes can they have a child with attached ear lobes?

Yes they can, because they could get the genes from a grandparent, or even farther back if they didn't have detached ear lobes.

How do you understand that attachment of ear lobes are inherited?
Whether or not an ear lobe is attached at its base or not depends on whether or not that person's parents had attached earlobes or not. If both parents have attached earlobes, then their children will also have attached earlobes. If both parents have detached earlobes, then their children will also have detached earlobes. But if one parent has detached earlobes, while the other has attached earlobes, their child's earlobes may be detached, attached, or only slightly attached. This is because each parent provides part of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules that exist at the center of almost every human cell. Since the cells of the body don't "know" anything, they just follow the "instructions" that DNA provides them by building themselves according to how the DNA molecule says they should be built. How this actually works is a complicated chemical process that would be better answered in a separate question, but you don't need to know how it works, only that the result is this - children get some instructions for how to build their body from their mother, and some from their father. If the instructions agree, then the cells that make up the ear will grow a definitely attached or detached earlobe. If the instructions in the child's DNA disagree, then you might get a mix, or the cells might end up paying attention only to one set of instructions or another.
Have both parents got to have ear lobes to have a child with lobes?
No, (free) earlobes follow a simple genetic dominance relationship, where free earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes. Meaning that having one parent with free earlobes suffices for the child to also share that trait.
What happens when a person receives on alle for attached earlobes and one for unattached earlobes?
there one alle for free ear-lobes and another allele for attached if your gene for ear-lobes is made up of two alleles for free ear-lobes your ear-lobes are NOT attached and if you have two attache-ear-lobes alleles your ear-lobes are attached
Can you tell if your parents are your parents by their ear lobes?
....
Which is better attached or unattached earlobes?
Unattached earlobes for sure, attached lobes look silly with earrings. It's a known fact that terrible people have been known to have attached earlobes, like Hitler and Meaghan Burke. They are less wind resistant, people with unattached lobes are faster. Furthermore, its fun to flick unattached lobes, there isn't much you can do with attached lobes. in conclusion, if you have attached lobes i highly recommend making a doctors appointment for plastic surgery to make a slight incision in your lobe.
If a father has unattached ear lobes and a mother has attached ear lobes what will their children have?
my dad has attached earlobes, my mum has unattatched earlobes and me and my 2 brothers all have unattatched earlobes. :) hope this helps
Some people have attached ear lobes and some people have free ear lobes. The differences in these traits are caused by?
diffrent genes you idiot
Ear lobes can be either attached or detached the allele for attached earlobes is recessive and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant what must be true if a boy is born with attached your lobes?
He has at least one E allele is correct. I take the quiz
Are unattached ear lobes better for stretching?
All lobes will stretch the same way. Its just that at larger sizes(1 inch +), attached lobes kinda tilt a little bit. I personally don't like that but hey, to each their own.
Can a child function normally if born without both frontal lobes?
go away
Is free ear lobe trait autosomal or sex linked?
Yes, attached ear lobes are autosomal recessive.
What are the regions of the cerebral cortex called?
Lobes. The breakdown is frontal lobes, occipital lobes, parietal lobes, and temporal lobes
