Is Hand Clasping a dominant or recessive trait?
If you clasp your hand with your left thumb over your right, this is a dominant (more common) way of doing so. People who clasp their hands with their right thumb on top have the recessive genes. Left hand on top- Ll or LL right hand on top- ll
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.
What letter is used to represent Straight Thumb trait?
The dominant trait is hitchhiker's thumb and the letter is H, and the recessive trait straight thumb is h
Is hitchhikers thumb dominant or recessive allele?
Hitchhiker's thumb is caused by a dominant allele. Individuals with at least one copy of the dominant allele will exhibit the thumb's characteristic flexibility, while those with two recessive alleles will have a straight thumb. This trait is a classic example of simple Mendelian inheritance.
Can someone give you a List of dominant or recessive personality traits?
1. Shape of face (probably polygenic) Oval dominant, square recessive 2. Cleft in chin No cleft dominant, cleft recessive 3. Hair curl (probably polygenic) Assume incomplete dominance Curly: homozygous Wavy: heterozygous Straight: homozygous 4. Hairline Widow peak dominant, straight hairline recessive 5. Eyebrow size Broad dominant, slender recessive 6. Eyebrow shape Separated dominant, joined recessive 7. Eyelash length Long dominant, short recessive 8. Dimples Dimples dominant, no dimples recessive 9. Earlobes Free lobe dominant, attached recessive 10. Eye shape Almond dominant, round recessive 11. Freckles Freckles dominant, no freckles recessive 12. Tongue rolling Roller dominant, nonroller recessive 13. Tongue folding Inability dominant, ability recessive 14. Finger mid-digital hair Hair dominant, no hair recessive 15. Hitch-hiker's thumb Straight thumb dominant, hitch-hiker thumb recessive 16. Bent little finger Bent dominant, straight recessive 17. Interlaced fingers Left thumb over right dominant, right over left recessive 18. Hair on back of hand Hair dominant, no hair recessive 19. Tendons of Palmar Muscle Two tendons dominant, three tendons recessive
Is hitch-hikers thumb dominant or recessive?
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.
What percentage of people have hitchhikers thumb?
Well the straight thumb is dominant while the hitch hikers thumb is recessive
Is the straight hair dominant?
No, it is recessive.
When a straight thumbed homozygous person has offspring with a hitchhiker's thumbed homozygous person the offspring will have which trait?
Straight thumbs, hitch hiker's thumb is recessive...so the F1 generation in this example would be heterozygous and have the dominant (straight thumbed) phenotype.
L thumb over recessive or dominant?
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.
Is straight hair controlled by a dominate allele or recessive allele?
Straight hair is typically controlled by a dominant allele. Curly hair is usually controlled by a recessive allele.
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
How do you xxplain how the hitchhicker's thumb trait is determined using the following words allele domnate recessive homozygous heterozygous?
basically, the hitchhiker's thumb is a physical characteristic that is inherited from your mother and/or father. when you were conceived, your mother gave you some of her genes, and your father gave you some of his. the hitchhiker's thumb is either a dominent or recessive trait. It if is dominant, you could have a heterozygous parent and still have a 100% chance of inheriting it. If the hitchhiker's thumb is recessive, you must have both of you parents homozygous for the gene to have a 100% chance of inheriting it. The alleles are either HH (homozygous dominant), Hh (heterozygous), or hh (homozygous recessive). H H << if the thumb is dominant trait, you have a 100% chance of getting it H HH HH << if the thumb is recessive trait, you have a 0% chance of getting it h Hh Hh
Is the hitch hiker's thumb the dominate trait?
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.
