no it is recessive
Family 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.

∙ 14y agoIf you are asking whether or not tongue rolling is recessive trait, the answer is no. Tongue rolling is dependent on nurture, rather than nature. In many languages, tongue rolling is used to pronounce words correctly. It is a learned behavior rather than an inherited trait or gene. This is not the case when using the English language (which I will assume you speak because the question was asked in English).

∙ 14y agoTongue rolling is taught as being a two allele trait - the allele for rolling (with the symbol R) being dominant over the non-rolling allele (with the symbol r).
What this means is that if one of your parents has the dominant tongue rolling gene and they pass it on to you - then you will have the ability to roll your tongue. A dominant version of a gene always wins out over a recessive version.

When a tongue rolling man has a baby to a non tongue rolling women all the babies are tongue rollers explain why this occurs?
Tongue rolling is homozygous dominant and all issue from this pairing will be tongue rollers. This is the only result that is allowable with a standard Punnett square or branch diagram representation. T = tongue roller t = non-tongue roller TT X tt = 4 Tt ======With tongue rolling expressed.
What is a trait that is overridden by another trait?
Dominant- Covers up another form of a trait. Recessive- Is covered up by a dominant trait.
A living thing with a dominant and recessive gene for a trait?
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
Dominant and recessive traits?
A dominant trait is a genetic trait which may cause a hereditary condition, a recessive trait disappears or goes in the background and only shows in a few generations.
If an offspring receives a pair of trait-controllers containing both a dominant and a recessive trait what happens to the recessive trait?
The dominant trait is shown in that organism with the possibility of carrying either the dominant or recessive gene to the next generation
What is the letter form in dominant and recessive trait?
It depends on what your trait is. Let's say that your trait was tongue roller. Rolling your tongue is dominant over non-tongue rollers so we would use R for Rolling your tongue. For the recessive trait, non-tongue roller, we use the same letter as the dominant trait except it is lowercase. So non-tongue roller would be r.
What is the difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
A dominate trait will most likely take over the recessive.
What is the definition of a discrete trait?
A discrete trait is a trait which doesn't have a range of phenotypes. For example, tongue rolling is a discrete trait as an individual can either roll their tongue or not roll their tongue. There is no phenotype between these two phenotypes.
Is there a relationship between the frequency of a trait in a population and whether that trait is dominant or recessive?
Some observable traits in humans are dimples, earlobes, tongue-rolling, cleft chin, hairline, and freckles. The relationship between the frequency of a trait in a population and whether the trait is dominant or recessive because in inherited human traits, the offspring can either have dimples or no dimples.
Is being able to roll your tongue a dominant or a recessive trait?
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.

How can you use dominant trait in a sentence?
The dominant trait for eye color in humans is brown, which means that if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes, the child is more likely to inherit brown eyes due to the dominant trait.
A trait which always appears when it is present is called what kind of trait?
It is called a dominant trait
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
What is a dominate trait?
Dominant trait is a genetics term. A dominant trait is one which will be expressed if one of the parents has the gene for that trait. A recessive trait is one that will be expressed only if both parents carry the trait.
What describes a trait that is covered over or dominated by another form of the trait and seems to disappear?
The trait that is being masked is recessive, and the trait that is doing the masking is dominant.
