Example: Mr. Spock + Nurse Chapel

One more here. Let's mate Mr. Spock (of the recessive pointy ears) instead to his frequent human admirer, Nurse Chapel, who has two round-ear alleles.

 

 

Sadly, the little guys have no chance of pointy ears now.

To sum it up, Mr. Spock and Nurse Chapel have 100% round eared babies, while Mr. Spock and Jax have 50% round and 50% pointed ear babies. Ahh, the mystery of romance, motherhood, and genetics...
