Well there are some genetic traits controlled by a couple of alleles (hand calsping, tongue rolling, ear lobe attachment, etc.). and there are other controlled by many alleles (as hair color, eye color, skin color, height, etc.).
Hand clasping is one trait that, so far as I know, some people believe it is controlled by just one pair of allels other people think it is controlled by many of them.
I prefer to believe hand clasping just has 2 alleles.
Considering this, we can say that one of this 2 alleles is Dominant and another recessive, as usually, however there are some cases when both alleles are dominant.
-What do I mean by dominant and recessive?
Well, this means that if both are in the same locus for that genetic trait (or gene, it is the same) the dominant will be the one that will expressed in the person carrying these alleles for this gene (or genetic trait, it is the same =P).
So in the cae of hand clasping, if you join the fingers of your hand (I do not how to explin it exactly), you should see wheter your right or your left thumb is up. If your left thumb is above your right that is the dominant trait expressing. And if your right thumb is above , well you have the reccesive allele expressing.
I hope I had contribute. =)

How is genetic engineering and Genocide related?
Genetic testing and genetic engineering are not related. Genetic testing is looking at the chromosomal constitution of an individual and determining if they have a genetic disorder. Genetic engineering on the other hand, is a much larger avenue and is almost a science in itself. This area of molecular biology deals with inserting foreign genes into organisms in order to increase yield or produce novel products. Genetic testing is useful to test if an unborn fetus has any genetic diseases. It is more of a diagnosis-based field. It can also be used to look at the chromosomes of an affected individual and their relatives to determine the cause and nature of a genetic disorder. Genetic engineering however, has applications like genetically modified foods, recombinant proteins and studying gene expression in a variety of different species.
How do captive breeding programs affect genetic diversity?
Captive breeding programs can affect genetic diversity in one of two ways. Within the program itself, genetic diversity is reduced, because captive breeding programs only have a limited number of animals to work with. On the other hand, animals from a captive breeding program that are re-introduced to the wild can increase genetic diversity, because they are bringing genes that may have been gone for a long time back into the gene pool.
What is the implication of technology of genetic engineering to modern man?
· Genetic engineering may be one of the greatest breakthroughs in recent history alongside the discovery of the atom and space flight, however, with the above eventualities and facts above in hand, governments have produced legislation to control what sort of experiments are done involving genetic engineering. In the UK there are strict laws prohibiting any experiments involving the cloning of humans. However, over the years here are some of the experimental 'breakthroughs' made possible by genetic engineering.
Is maths necessary for genetic engineering?
yup.. maths is necessary ... bt only basics ..
What evidence support the concept of the universal genetic code?
AnswerThe universality of the genetic code means that all living organisms are descended from one original organism, which is at least useful information. From a religious point of view, it could also be said that the creator god designed a successful genetic code and chose to use it universally. So, the genetic code does not actually prove or disprove evolution versus religion. But it proves the Theory of Evolution to be the best scientific explanation ofr life on earth.
What is the difference between a macro- and a micro- nucleus?
Macronucleus is a somatic nucleus which ensures expression of information. Micronucleus, on the other hand, is a germinal nucleus which is responsible for the transmission of genetic information.

Is Hand Clasping a dominant or recessive trait?
If you clasp your hand with your left thumb over your right, this is a dominant (more common) way of doing so. People who clasp their hands with their right thumb on top have the recessive genes. Left hand on top- Ll or LL right hand on top- ll

Why use of computer in biology?
Computers are used a lot in genetics, since the genetic code has too many nucleotides to figure out by hand. Also, the computer can store long-term information.

What is first hand and second hand data?
first hand data is information that you have collected. Second hand data is information that a different source have collected.

What is an example of a derived trait?
Ancestral traits were traits retained by a species from a common ancestor. Examples would be the wings on birds and five fingers on the human hand.

Is a reproductive cell?
A reproductive cell, or gamete, is a special type of cell used specifically for reproduction. Male gametes are called sperm and female gametes are eggs. Gametes, unlike somatic cells, contain only one set of genetic information. This set of genetic information will contain traits from both the male parent and the female parent because of a process named crossing over, which is a step in meiosis, the formation of new sex cells. Male gametes and female gametes are different in shape and function. The male gamete, or sperm, is in the shape of a snake with a large head and is very small. The head contains all the genetic information and also acrosomes which are used to drill into the egg. The middle part of sperm contains a lot of mitochondria to help the cell move. The egg is more stationary on the other hand is is round and big. It stays within the woman's reproductive system and awaits the sperm.
Examples of acquired traits?
Examples of acquired traits can be your shoe size, if you are flexible, if your right or left thumb is located on top of your hand when you do a formation( not if your right or left handed, that is inquired) or if you can do a Vulcan hand( it's like a gap between your index and The ring finger).
