Do the Cleft Chin Trait Just pass Down From The Parent?

A Clefted chin is indeed heriditary. It is localted in chromosome 16. If both parents have clefts the chances of their child also having one is about 75%. When the featus is forming at the very early stages the tissue sometimes does not completely conjoin and the centerline and thus causes the cleft in the chin. The degree may vary and is much more dominant with males than females.

One can be born with a cleft chin. Another way one would get a cleft chin, if they wanted it, would be through plastic surgery. A cleft would be bored into the fissure of the chin bone and then one would have a cleft chin.


Of the combination Cc and cc what is the ratio of offspring with a cleft chin to offspring without a cleft chin?

The combination Cc has a 50% chance of having a cleft chin trait, while the combination cc will always result in offspring without a cleft chin. Therefore, the ratio of offspring with a cleft chin to offspring without a cleft chin from the cross Cc and cc is 1:1.


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.


Suppose an individual is heterozygous for both traits tongue rolling and cleft chin what is their genotype?

The genotype for an individual who is heterozygous for both traits of tongue rolling and cleft chin would be RrCc. "R" represents the dominant allele for tongue rolling and "r" represents the recessive allele for non-tongue rolling, while "C" represents the dominant allele for cleft chin and "c" represents the recessive allele for no cleft chin.


Does Justin Timberlake has a cleft chin?

Yes, Justin Timberlake has a cleft chin, which is characterized by a noticeable dimple or indentation in the center of the chin. This feature is often considered a distinctive aspect of his appearance and contributes to his recognizable look. Cleft chins are a genetic trait and can vary in prominence among individuals.


The allele for a cleft chin C is dominant among humans what are the results of a cross between parents with genotypes Cc and cc?

The cross between parents with genotypes Cc and cc would result in 50% of the offspring having the dominant allele (Cc) and 50% having the recessive allele (cc) for the cleft chin trait. This is because the parent with genotype Cc can pass on either the dominant or recessive allele, while the parent with genotype cc can only pass on the recessive allele.
