PTC is genetically controlled. It is a simple truth that is governed by alleles. However, in order to taste PTC the man must possess at least one dominate allele. So a person with the genotype of Tt or TT can taste PTC.

Can two parents who can taste ptc have a child who can't?

Yes, it is possible for two parents who can taste PTC to have a child who cannot taste PTC. PTC taste sensitivity is determined by genetics, and it is possible for genetic variations to result in a child with different taste abilities than their parents.


How do female taste buds defer from male taste buds?

Nope. At least not according to my textbook/professor. We're on the "special senses" chapter now, it's a college course and text so I'd say it's legitimate. In case you're curious, it says that we all have about 10,000 taste buds. The bumps that you can see on your tongue are called "papillae" and each one can contain 600 taste buds. But it says nothing about varying between genders in the entire section. (The text is by Tortora.)


Is A heterozygous pair of alleles is identical?

When there are heterozygous alleles for a gene thy code for a different expression of the gene. For example, the gene to taste PTC paper is a single gene trait. A person will have two copies (or alleles) for that gene (one from their mothers DNA, one from their father). There are two possible expressions for this gene - either you can taste the chemical or you cannot. When one allele is for tasting, and the other for not tasting, this is known as heterozygous. Both alleles are relating to the same gene but they giving different instructions and are thus not identical. When this happens, the dominant gene wins - in this case tasting is expressed. If the alleles are identical, they are known as homozygous and they are identical.


Is it normal to like the taste of vagina?

Yes actually it is in human nature for males to be highly pleased by the scent and taste of a woman after we reach puberty some of us become sensitive to pheromones which women emit from their sweat glands and genitals, this is not a constant however as normal implies that every male prefers the scent of a developed female but this simply is not true however most men and even some women are drawn to the scents and tastes emitted from the female sex.


What are taste pores?

Taste pores are your taste buds. These are the tiny papules on the surface of your tongue that allow you to taste things. They are technically called called gustatory organs. We have four types of taste that we can detect: salty, sweet, sour, and bitter.

Can two people who CANT taste PTC have children who can?

Yes, two people who cannot taste PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) can have children who can taste it. This is because the ability to taste PTC is a genetic trait influenced by a dominant allele. If both parents are homozygous recessive for the PTC tasting gene (tt), they will not be able to taste it, but if they carry a recessive allele (t) and a dominant one (T), there's a possibility of passing the dominant allele to their children, resulting in offspring who can taste PTC.

Do male and female mussels taste different?

Male and female mussels generally do not have significant taste differences; their flavor is more influenced by their environment and diet rather than their sex. However, some people report slight variations in texture or sweetness depending on the mussel's reproductive stage. Ultimately, the cooking method and seasoning play a more crucial role in the overall taste.


Does rooster taste different from chicken and how?

Can you taste lubricant?

Yes, of course you can but some of them have bad taste. Water based lube has taste like water for example. I think Oiled one has bad taste. So if you are female and you want to give oral sex you can put lube on a penis and give ''handjob'' and ''blowjob'' at same time even if lube is on it.
