Attached earlobes are a recessive trait in humans. In the tree below, people with attached earlobes are shaded in. Which best describes the person labeled X in the tree?

C. A male with one recessive allele.
D. A male with no recessive alleles.

This means that all the offsprings of the filial 1 (one) generation will carry a recessive allele. However, those with an equivalent dominant allele will not exhibit the attached earlobe trait. This is shown by the Punnet square below;
