Respuesta :

A- He has two of the same alleles for earlobe type, one from each parent.

Answer:

He has two of the same alleles for earlobe type, one from each parent.

Explanation:

  • A person is said to be homozygous if he has two of the same kind of alleles.
  • Further, as per the law of inheritance, an individual inherits one allele each from his/her parents.
  • Therefore, Clem who is homozygous for earlobe type will have two same alleles for the ear lobe and he would have received each of these alleles from one parent each.
