Their are only two possibilities either the WW or Ww combination could occur.

Explanation:

As the man is homozygous for the trait thus it would produce the type of gametes which are all samiler means having the trait of only dominant charecter the gametes will be all samiler having the genotype of W. Women have different genotype with gametes of W and w so when during zygote formation the W combine with w so the zygote have genetic make up of Ww if the gamete having W genotype combine with W so the genetype would be WW.
