Answer:

50%

Explanation:

The mother's genes are aa, and the father's genes are Aa.  When you do the punnett square you get the following in the square:

Aa    aa

Aa    aa

The only way a child will have attached earlobes is to be aa.  There are 2 possibilities out of 4 total.  2/4 = 50%.  Thus for a child to have attached earlobes is 50%
