Answer:

C

Explanation:

This is a monohybrid cross between involving a gene coding for earlobe. The allele for free earlobe (F) is dominant over that of attached earlobe (f).

N.B: let F represent the gene involved.

A genotypic ratio is the ratio derived from the offsprings based on the actual genetic make-up and not based on their phenotypic appearance as in phenotypic ratio.

A homozygous individual is an individual having the same kind of alleles for a gene while a heterozygous individual is one that has two different alleles i.e. combination of the dominant and recessive allele.

The monohybrid cross is between an individual with attached earlobe (ff) i.e. homozygous recessive individual. (Note that, a recessive trait will only be expressed in a homozygous state) and a heterozygous free earlobeb individual (Ff). (See attached picture). Ff × ff

The resulting four offsprings will

be expected to have only two distinct genotypes i.e heterozygous (Ff) and homozygous recessive (ff) in an equal ratio i.e. 2:2 ~ 1:1

Answer:

The correct answer is animism.

Explanation:

The concept that all the things whether living or non-living, comprising human beings, geographic features, animals, natural processes, and other non-living entities exhibits life, which associates them with each other is termed as animism. Animism is a belief that helps in determining general associations of holiness amongst the various systems of beliefs.  

Animism generally has an application in explaining the differences between ancient beliefs and present organized religion. In the majority of the situations, animism is not regarded as a religion, however, a characteristic of different beliefs and practices. Thus, the given case is an illustration of animism.
