Solution

It is not possible to determine the phenotypes of the parents since inadequate information has been provided. It if not mentioned whether the parents or the children are homozygous or heterozygous which is one of the main criteria of determining the phenotypes or genotypes. Also phenotypes of only two children is given and that is also unclear.
