Traits inherited or genes are how parents and children are alike and different. Traits can range from the ability to roll one's tongue to hair color/texture.
Some people can roll their tongues up into tubular shapes; this is the result of genetics, so a person who can do this can be called a genetic tongue roller (not that there is any important reason to roll up your tongue).
because they're sticky.. God Said SO
It is heredity. Not everyone has the necessary gene. It's a dominant gene to roll your tongue. So if one parent is able to roll his/her tongue there is a higher chance of being able to roll your tongue.
no it is recessiveFamily studies clearly demonstrate that tongue rolling is not a simple genetic character, and twin studies demonstrate that it is influenced by both genetics and the environment. Despite this, tongue rolling is probably the most commonly used classroom example of a simple genetic trait in humans. Sturtevant (1965) said he was "embarrassed to see it listed in some current works as an established Mendelian case." You should not use tongue rolling to demonstrate basic genetics.No. Your mom is.
Being able to roll your tongue means you have the genetic trait for tongue rolling, where the sides of your tongue can be curled upwards into a tube shape. This trait is inherited and controlled by a single gene.
Being able to roll your tongue is a genetic trait controlled by a single gene with two alleles. If you can roll your tongue, you are likely to have inherited the dominant allele for tongue rolling. If you cannot roll your tongue, you likely have inherited the recessive allele.
First of all, the inability to roll your R's is not genetic, it is a skill that is acquired through practice. And it has nothing to do with rolling your tongue.

No Flamingos can NOT roll their tongue.
They could have hitchhikers thumb, widows peaks, attached earlobes, and the ability to roll the tongue.
If the individuals can't roll their tongue, then the child won't be able to roll it's tongue. If they can roll their tongue, then the child will be able to roll it's tongue. it just depends.

"The Taco Tongue"
Being able to roll your tongue is dominant, not being able to is recessive. Therefore, if you can roll your tongue, you have either a homozygous dominant gene for being able to roll your tongue, or a heterozygous gene. If you cannot, then you have a homozygous recessive gene.
