Answer:

A - 3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine what number of offspring will have attached earlobes, we must make a Punnett table. We know that attached earlobes are the dominant gene, and we know unattached earlobes are recessive.

| P | p

——————-

P | PP | Pp |

——————-

p | Pp | pp |

As we can see, only one out of the four squares has two recessive genes. Therefore, our answer would be A - 3:1.
