This task is about using punnet squares to show genetic characteristics.
In humans, free ear lobes (E) are dominant while attached ear lobes (e) are recessive.
Free earlobe Attached earlobe
| a) |
Matthew, who has attached ear lobes, and Nancy, who has free ear lobes, (her father had attached ear lobes) have four children.
The genotype of Nancy is Ee.
What is the genotype of Matthew? Matthew's genotype: __________

| ii) |
Of Matthew's and Nancy's four children, how many would be expected to have attached ear lobes?
__________
