Attached. During the developing stages of a baby, earlobes can fuse to the head, and this is extremely likely. However, there is an extremely painful infection where the cells that make up the bit of flesh that fuses your earlobes to your head start to die, eventually causing this link to crumble away.

Is free ear lobe trait autosomal or sex linked?

The free ear lobe trait is autosomal. This means that the gene responsible for determining whether someone has attached or free ear lobes is located on one of the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes) and is not linked to the person's gender.


Free earlobes in humans is a dominant trait if two parents with free earlobes have children with attached earlobes the genotype of the parents must be?

If two parents with free earlobes have a child with attached earlobes, both parents must have the genotype of heterozygous (Ee) for earlobe shape. Free earlobes (E) is dominant over attached earlobes (e), so the presence of attached earlobes in their child indicates that both parents are carriers of the recessive allele for attached earlobes.


What ratio of genotypes and phenotypes are found after two heterozygous indivividual are crossed for a trait of earlobes?

Genotypes (phenotype) 25% homozygous dominant (free earlobes) 25% homozygous recessive (attached earlobes) 50% heterozygous (free earlobes) 75% phenotypically dominant (free earlobes) 25% phenotyically recessive (attached earlobes) Ratios Genotype 1:1:2 Phenotype 3:1


What is two dominant alleles called?

In eyes, it would be brown is dominant, and blue is recessive. Free earlobe allele is said to be dominant over the attached earlobe allele. When an organism has two dominant alleles for a trait, it is called homozygous dominant. Two recessive alleles for a trait is homozygous recessive.


Are ear lobs that are attached dominant or recessive?

It was said earlier that, "Unattached earlobes are the dominant trait, twice as many people have unattached earlobes compared to attached." There is not actually any real proof that unattached earlobes are dominant. While more people may have unattached earlobes, attached earlobes are dominant. This was proved in a pedigree which covered three generations of extended families.

What happens when a person receives on alle for attached earlobes and one for unattached earlobes?

there one alle for free ear-lobes and another allele for attached if your gene for ear-lobes is made up of two alleles for free ear-lobes your ear-lobes are NOT attached and if you have two attache-ear-lobes alleles your ear-lobes are attached


Are rounded ear lobes dominant or recessive?

Whether rounded ear lobes are dominant or recessive depends on the specific genetic variant involved. In general, it is believed that free (unattached) ear lobes are dominant over attached ear lobes. This means that if one parent has free ear lobes and the other parent has attached ear lobes, their offspring are more likely to have free ear lobes.


Have both parents got to have ear lobes to have a child with lobes?

No, (free) earlobes follow a simple genetic dominance relationship, where free earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes. Meaning that having one parent with free earlobes suffices for the child to also share that trait.


Is free ear lobe trait autosomal or sex linked?

The free ear lobe trait is autosomal. This means that the gene responsible for determining whether someone has attached or free ear lobes is located on one of the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes) and is not linked to the person's gender.


What is an example of a dominant human trait?

Dominant traits are more common. For example, brown hair and eyes are good examples of dominant traits. Another example of a dominant trait are your earlobes! Free earlobes are more common than attached earlobes.


You have one free earlobe and one attached how does that happen?

This is called co-dominance. It is when neither alleles are dominant or recessive. Therefore, both traits are expressed. Ex. Some horses have two hair colors. For example, if two hairs are next to each other, one hair would be red, and the other would be brown. I am taking a class on this and free/attached earlobes are not co-dominant, its a recessive/dominant trait. I also have one free and one attached earlobe and am not sure how it happens, all i know is that free earlobes are dominant and attached are recessive.

Some people have attached ear lobes and some people have free ear lobes. The differences in these traits are caused by?

diffrent genes you idiot

What are the Genotypes for free and fixed ear lobes in human beings?

The genotype for free ear lobes is usually represented as FF or Ff, where F stands for the dominant allele for free ear lobes. The genotype for fixed ear lobes is typically represented as ff, where f stands for the recessive allele for fixed ear lobes.
