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

Why is it beneficial to use textiles made from synthetic fibers
mestny [16]
Synthetic fabrics<span> are </span>textiles made<span> from man-</span>made fibers<span> rather than natural </span>fibers. Chemically produced fabrics<span> are </span>made<span> by joining monomers into polymers, through a process called polymerization. A </span>synthetic fabric<span>, when magnified, looks like plastic spun together.</span><span>

Natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk, and wool, are made from animals or plant based fibers. While synthetic are man made and produced entirely from chemicals to create fabrics. such as polyester, rayon, acrylic, and more. The benefits of using textiles made from synthetic fibers is that it saves the animals and plants that the fibers are based off of.
