What else can I help you with?
Arlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e) and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant (E). What must be true if a boy is born with attached ear?
If a boy is born with attached earlobes, he must have inherited two recessive alleles (ee), one from each parent. This means that both parents must either be carriers of the recessive allele (Ee) or express the attached earlobe phenotype themselves (ee). Therefore, at least one of the parents must have the recessive allele for attached earlobes.
In the family tree below people with the recessive trait of attached earlobes are shaded gray. What must be true about the person labeled A?
Person A must carry at least one dominant allele for unattached earlobes, as they are not shaded gray and therefore do not express the recessive trait of attached earlobes. If A had two recessive alleles, they would exhibit the attached earlobe trait. Additionally, A could be homozygous dominant or heterozygous for the trait, meaning they might have a parent or sibling with attached earlobes as a result of inheriting the recessive allele.
If you know that the allele for attached earlobes is recessive and a friend of yours has attached earlobes what do you know about your friends the mothers and the fathers genotype?
If your friend has attached earlobes (recessive trait), then your friend must have two copies of the recessive allele for attached earlobes (aa). This means that both of your friend's parents must be carriers of the recessive allele (Aa) in order to pass it on. Your friend's mother and father would both have one dominant allele (A) for free-hanging earlobes and one recessive allele (a) for attached earlobes.
Are earlobes a recessive gene?
Yes, the inheritance of free-hanging earlobes (referred to as the "unattached" phenotype) is often thought to follow a simple recessive pattern, with the unattached earlobes trait being recessive to attached earlobes. This means that to have free-hanging earlobes, an individual would need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele.
What is percent of having attached earlobes?
Approximately 30% of the population has attached earlobes. This trait is determined by genetics, with some studies suggesting that it follows a simple dominant-recessive pattern.
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
What are some examples of dominant or recessive genes?
Examples of dominant genes include brown eyes and attached earlobes, where the dominant allele will be expressed over its recessive counterpart. Recessive genes include blue eyes and detached earlobes, which will only be expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
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.
What must be true if a boy is born with detached earlobes?
If a boy is born with detached earlobes, both of his parents must have detached earlobes as well, as this trait is inherited. Detached earlobes are a recessive trait, meaning that both parents must pass on the gene for detached earlobes in order for the child to have them.
Arlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e) and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant (E). What must be true if a boy is born with attached ear?
If a boy is born with attached earlobes, he must have inherited two recessive alleles (ee), one from each parent. This means that both parents must either be carriers of the recessive allele (Ee) or express the attached earlobe phenotype themselves (ee). Therefore, at least one of the parents must have the recessive allele for attached earlobes.
What percentage of people have detached earlobes?
it is a dominant trait so about 75% i would say
What ratio of genotypes and phenotypes are found after two heterozygous indivividual are crossed for a trait of earlobes?
Genotypes (phenotype) 25% homozygous dominant (free earlobes) 25% homozygous recessive (attached earlobes) 50% heterozygous (free earlobes) 75% phenotypically dominant (free earlobes) 25% phenotyically recessive (attached earlobes) Ratios Genotype 1:1:2 Phenotype 3:1

If you know that the allele for attached earlobes is recessive and a friend of yours has attached earlobes what do you know about your friends the mothers and the fathers genotype?
If your friend has attached earlobes (recessive trait), then your friend must have two copies of the recessive allele for attached earlobes (aa). This means that both of your friend's parents must be carriers of the recessive allele (Aa) in order to pass it on. Your friend's mother and father would both have one dominant allele (A) for free-hanging earlobes and one recessive allele (a) for attached earlobes.
What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
In the family tree below people with the recessive trait of attached earlobes are shaded gray.?
a male with one recessive allele
Are earlobes a recessive gene?
Yes, the inheritance of free-hanging earlobes (referred to as the "unattached" phenotype) is often thought to follow a simple recessive pattern, with the unattached earlobes trait being recessive to attached earlobes. This means that to have free-hanging earlobes, an individual would need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele.
