What else can I help you with?
Name an inherited characteristic?
Attached or unattached earlobes.
What is the probability of having a child with attached earlobes when an individual with attached earlobes mates with an individual heterozygous for free earlobes?
Attached earlobes are a recessive trait. When one parent has attached earlobes and the other is heterozygous for free earlobes, the chances of any particular offspring having attached earlobes is fifty percent.
What must be true if a boy is born with attached earlobes?
If a boy is born with attached earlobes, it means that he inherited the trait for attached earlobes from at least one of his parents. This trait is determined by genetics and is a dominant trait.
What is the ratio of free earlobes to attached earlobes?
The ratio is approximately 4:1, with free earlobes being more common than attached earlobes in the general population.
Free earlobes in humans is a dominant trait if two parents with free earlobes have children with attached earlobes the genotype of the parents must be?
If two parents with free earlobes have a child with attached earlobes, both parents must have the genotype of heterozygous (Ee) for earlobe shape. Free earlobes (E) is dominant over attached earlobes (e), so the presence of attached earlobes in their child indicates that both parents are carriers of the recessive allele for attached earlobes.
In humans the allele for free hanging earlobes is dominant over the one for attached earlobes What are the possible genotypes of a person with free hanging earlobes?
50%. Heterozygous means that there is two different traits inside of the gene. Therefore you have (aa) for the free earlobes and the other individual with attached (Aa). Drawing a Punnett square you get (aa) in two different spots, creating 50% probability.
What happens when a person receives on alle for attached earlobes and one for unattached earlobes?
there one alle for free ear-lobes and another allele for attached if your gene for ear-lobes is made up of two alleles for free ear-lobes your ear-lobes are NOT attached and if you have two attache-ear-lobes alleles your ear-lobes are attached
Are ear lobs that are attached dominant or recessive?
It was said earlier that, "Unattached earlobes are the dominant trait, twice as many people have unattached earlobes compared to attached." There is not actually any real proof that unattached earlobes are dominant. While more people may have unattached earlobes, attached earlobes are dominant. This was proved in a pedigree which covered three generations of extended families.
A child is born with attached earlobes but both parents have hanging earlobes. What are the genotypes and phenottypes fot the parents?
The parents would each have the genotype Ee (heterozygous for earlobe attachment) and the phenotype for hanging earlobes. The child inherited the attached earlobe allele from both parents, resulting in the AA genotype and the phenotype for attached earlobes.
What is the phenotype of a man who has 2 parents with free hanging earlobes if one parent is homozygous and the other parent is heteroygous... what are his possible genotypes?
The man could have either free hanging or attached earlobes. His possible genotypes could be either homozygous for free hanging earlobes (LL) or heterozygous for free hanging and attached earlobes (Ll).
Earlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant. What must be true is a boy is born with attached earlobes?
He has a homozygous genotype
Have both parents got to have ear lobes to have a child with lobes?
No, (free) earlobes follow a simple genetic dominance relationship, where free earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes. Meaning that having one parent with free earlobes suffices for the child to also share that trait.
