<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 =
