Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Step-by-step 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.
