Answer:

Based on the provided information, we know that the mother (Person 3) has a genotype of "ee". However, the genotype of Generation II number 7 is not provided. Without the specific genotype for Generation II number 7, it is not possible to determine with certainty what their genotype could be.

However, we can make some general inferences. Since the mother (Person 3) has a genotype of "ee", we can assume that she has two copies of the recessive allele for the trait in question.

If Person 3 passes on one copy of the recessive allele ("e") to Generation II number 7, and the other parent passes on another recessive allele, then Generation II number 7 would also have a genotype of "ee".

However, if the other parent passes on a dominant allele, such as "E", then Generation II number 7 would have a heterozygous genotype of "Ee", with one dominant allele and one recessive allele.

Without further information, these are the possible genotypes for Generation II number 7:

- If both parents contribute a recessive allele: "ee"

- If one parent contributes a dominant allele and the other parent contributes a recessive allele: "Ee"

Please note that additional information about the genotype of Generation II number 7 or the other parent would be needed for a more accurate determination.
