To determine the correct genotype for individual II-3, we need to understand the context of the traits being discussed. Assuming that 'E' represents the dominant allele for unattached earlobes and 'e' represents the recessive allele for attached earlobes, individual II-3's genotype can be inferred based on their phenotype (physical characteristics) and the genotypes of their parents or other related individuals, if that information is available.
Based on the options provided:
- a) Ee: This indicates a heterozygous condition, meaning the individual has one dominant allele (E) and one recessive allele (e), resulting in unattached earlobes.
- b) attached earlobes: This is a phenotype, not a genotype. This would suggest the genotype is likely "ee".
- c) unattached earlobes: This is also a phenotype, suggesting the genotype could be either "EE" or "Ee".
- d) EE: This indicates a homozygous dominant condition, meaning the individual has two dominant alleles resulting in unattached earlobes.
Without additional context on whether individual II-3 exhibits attached or unattached earlobes, we cannot definitively choose the correct genotype from the options provided.
If individual II-3 has attached earlobes, the genotype would be "ee." If individual II-3 has unattached earlobes, the genotype could be either "Ee" or "EE."
Please provide additional information about the phenotype of individual II-3 or the family tree in question for a more accurate analysis.
