Gene

In terms of genetics, the straight thumb trait is typically considered a dominant trait, while the curved thumb trait is considered recessive. This means that if a person inherits even one copy of the straight thumb gene, they are likely to have a straight thumb.
A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is called homozygous. Homozygous alleles are identical forms of a gene and can be either dominant or recessive. Homozygous dominant means having two dominant alleles, while homozygous recessive means having two recessive alleles for a particular trait.
The condition of having a clubbed thumb, also known as brachydactyly type D, is a genetic trait that is passed down through families. It is not a medical concern and does not typically cause any health problems.
I have clubbed thumbs. We do not know much about them, but from what research shows, it means you have a royal bloodline. It is believed that it is a genetic dysfunction from inbreeding centuries ago between the European royalty.

The dominant trait is hitchhiker's thumb and the letter is H, and the recessive trait straight thumb is h
the hitchhiker's thumb is the recessive trait. normal thumbs are dominant. i learned this in science class and i am doing a family pedigree on the hitchhiker's thumb.

No. It isn't even real. Just an expression for someone who grows plants well.

Homozygous dominant means having two dominant alleles, while homozygous recessive means having two recessive alleles for a particular trait.
For a person to express a recessive trait, such as having a big thumb, they must inherit two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. This means that both parents must either be carriers of the recessive allele (heterozygous) or express the trait themselves (homozygous recessive). If a person has a big thumb, it indicates that they possess the recessive alleles from both parents.
No, hitchhiker's thumb is not an X-linked trait; it is a result of a genetic variation that is considered to be an autosomal trait. This means it can be inherited from either parent, regardless of the sex of the offspring. The trait is associated with the flexibility of the thumb joint, and its inheritance pattern follows a simple Mendelian trait pattern rather than being linked to the sex chromosomes.
Ugh I'm stuck on the same question! And I have no clue :(
yes infact most arabians carry their tails to one side because they prefer it there and normally they will carry their tails to one side when they are standing still it norrmally can't be fixed when it comes to arabs.
The ability to hitchhike (extend the thumb back to a right angle to the hand) is typically considered a dominant trait. This means that if one parent has the ability to hitchhike and the other does not, their offspring are likely to inherit the dominant trait and be able to hitchhike.
Having the left thumb cross over the right thumb is neither related to a recessive nor dominant gene. It is more of a behavior as to which thumb feels more natural on top when fingers are crossed.
