yes, for the most part. The DNA in your genes code for the size, shape and structure of all your physical features- but environmental factors, such as the positioning inside the uterus, can slightly alter the outcome. this is why identical Twins, who have the exact same DNA, end up with different fingerprints

∙ 12y agoLooking at child's earlobes is the only 100per cent indication apart from a DNA test to determine paternity of a child.
If both parents have attached earlobes then the child will definitely inherit these. if they both have detatched "dangly" earlobes then the child will inherit detatched ones. If one parent has attached and the other has detatched then the child can inherit either (although the attached earlobes are the more dominant gene so this would appear more likely). This is currently the most accurate way to determine a child's paternity other than taking a DNA sample.

∙ 10y ago23andMe researchers found several genetic variants associated with attached and unattached earlobes. Whether your earlobes dangle with your earrings or are attached has a genetic association. Researchers found six distinct genetic variants that contribute to this trait. Based on customer survey data, people of European ancestry with the less common versions of rs7739444 (T), rs1035150 (T), rs2804344 (T), rs12691702 (G), and rs453609 (G) had lower odds of unattached earlobes. Those with the A version of rs11013962, on the other hand, had higher odds of unattached earlobes. Learn more at 23andme.com.

All cells contain genetic material for directing their activities?
yes. it even goes more molecular than that. all proteins inside the cell contain genetic material that "tell them" what to do. though for proteins the DNA codes for their shape and what they do is based on that shape. just remember shape fits function
Is DNA genetic code or genetic blueprint?
DNA is the genetic code
How does genetic engineering rely on a shared genetic code?
for the genetic engenerring to take place it needs genetic code like for a car to drive you need to put gas in it. its simple
Advantages of genetic modification?
genetic modification can be bad because animals and stuff are changed to taste better but im not sure if that is genetic engineering
What does genetic engineering increase?
Short Answer is: our understanding of genetic engineering.
Why is your ear's shape peculiar?
The shape of the ear helps to capture and funnel sound waves into the ear canal, aiding in the process of hearing. The outer ear's unique shape also helps in localizing the source of sounds in the environment. Additionally, individual variations in ear shape are influenced by genetics and environmental factors.
What is the ideal ear shape of an Italian Greyhound?
The ideal ear shape of an Italian Greyhound are tucked and petite.
What is the function of the cones in the ear?
circular shape in the outer ear
What is the ideal ear shape of a Burmese cat?
The ideal ear shape of a Burmese cat are large pointed ears.
How does our ear keep its shape?
The ear has cartilage, a soft, flexible, bone-like structure. That's what keeps it's shape.
Can your ear shape determine if you get cancer?
no
What genetic defects are American Curls prone to?
Due to the American Curl's large genetic pool, this breed of cat is not prone to any genetic defects and is a healthy breed. Their ears, however, are fragile and prone to ear infections due to their shape, which means that they need to be handled gently and cleaned frequently.
How do you change ear shape?
cut it off
What if your son has neither ear shape as you or the father?
It's common for children to have physical features that don't exactly match those of their parents. This could be due to a combination of genetic factors or random variation. It's a natural part of genetic inheritance and doesn't necessarily indicate any underlying issue.
What does the shape of the ear do?
The shape of the ear helps to capture and funnel sound waves into the ear canal. The folds and curves in the ear also help to amplify and localize sounds, allowing us to better pinpoint the direction from which a sound is coming. Additionally, the ear shape contributes to our ability to filter out background noise and focus on specific sounds.
Why is the ear in the shape of a question mark?
because its excited
Does your ear change shape after someone pulls it?
yes it does
