<h2>The correct answer is explained below:</h2>

Explanation:

  • According to the question, free ear lobes are dominant over attached ear lobes.
  • Let the allele for free ear lobes be represented by F.
  • Let the allele for attached ear lobes be represented by f.
  • The genotype of the homozygous recessive woman (mother) having attached ear lobes is : ff.
  • The gamete produced by the woman is: f.
  • The genotype of the heterozygous man (father) with free earlobes is: Ff.
  • The gametes produced by the man are: F and f.
  • Mating the man with the woman we get the following offspring,

                                        F                                            f

                           f           Ff                                          ff

          Phenotype      Free ear lobe                   Attached ear lobe

  • The genotype and the phenotype of the probable children obtained is represented in the Punnett square above.
  • The probability that the parents would produce children with attached ear lobes is = \frac{1}{2} .

Answer:

PCBs and DDT are chemicals that were banned more than 30 years ago, but our air, water, land, and bodies are so contaminated that decades of cleanup efforts have yet to eliminate their threats to our health. Today, food is one of the most likely exposure routes to PCBs.

During what step the of Central Dogma is Gene Therapy used?
zhenek [66]

The answer is; DNA

The central dogma is DNA- RNA- Protein

Gene therapy involves the replacement of bad genes in the DNA of a human subject with a better gene. A recessive/mutated allele is removed and  a healthy one is inserted. This way, the proper proteins can be produced solving the disease trait. Ultimately, it will not require drugs to treat the disease.
