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.

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.)


What is the phenotype of an orange?

Phenotype is what it looks like (its observable characteristics, its orangeness), compared to the genotype, which is the actual genetic makeup. The phenotype of the orange would be its taste, juice content, sweetness, size, seed number, color, etc.


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.

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.
