Answer:

No, since DNA does code for certain traits, others are introduced or changed by the environment. For example, some adaptations are not coded in DNA, such as dying hair. According to the gene, hair is to be black, for example, but it can be changed to look pink. Another example is when a person is first born. When they are, some bacteria enter the system of the baby --- mostly good. Then the baby's gut will be different, and the bacteria in the gut are not coded by the DNA. So, living things are not only the product of DNA, as there are extraneous factors that affect living things as well.

In the family tree below, people with the recessive trait of attached earlobes
madam [21]

Answer:

C. It is a male with atleast one dominant allele

Explanation:

In the given pedigree, the two normal parents of the generation I have one daughter with the attached earlobe. Since the trait is recessive, the daughter should be homozygous recessive to express the trait. The genotype of the daughter (shaded circle in generation II) is "aa". To have a daughter with "aa" genotype, both the parents should have one copy of "a" allele. So, the genotype of both parents is "Aa".

In generation II, individual A is non-shaded square. Squares represent males in a pedigree. Since its not shaded, it does not have attached earlobe. Both the parents are heterozygous dominant for attached earlobes (Aa x Aa = 1/4 AA : 1/2 Aa : 1/4 aa). The genotype of this individual may be AA or Aa.

<span>A cataract is simply the clouding on the lens of the eye that makes it a little more difficult to see, causing some distortion as if looking though a fogged window. Some of these are congenital but generally they are age related due to the lens hardening an thickening as well as a side effect of diabetes. It is likely caused by inadequate delivery of nutrients to the deep lens fibers. Smoking and frequent exposure to intense sunlight increase ones risk for cataracts, but long term vitamin c supplements can help decrease the risk. In order to treat this condition, the lens can be removed and then replaced with an artificial lens.</span>
