Your husband is left handed will your children be left handed?

Answer 1

Not necessarily.

There is a fifty perdent hange of passing on the left-handed gene.

Think of the chromosomes.

Female ; XX'

Male ; XY

The left-handed gene is on the 'y' chromosome.

Hence the four offspring ' children can be

X(F)X(M) = female

X(F)Y(M) = male (possibly left handed)

X'(F)X(M) = female

X'(F)Y(M) = male (possibly left handed0.

I am a left hander. Correctly described as 'sinister person' , from the mediaeval French for ;left;., where right handers are 'dexterperson / dexterous'. .

Casually left- handers are often described as 'cack handed' or 'gammy handed'. or to use the modern French word ' Gauche'.

NB On the male (Y) gene are the characteristics of 'baldness', 'colour blindness' and haemophilia'. because only men exhibit these charactertistics. No such thing as a bald woman, nor a colour blind woman.

NNB There are degrees of left/right handedness. Ocassionally as a left hander you might fing yourself doing something right-handedly. Conversely for right-handers.

NNNB Some famous left handers include 'Julius Caesar.

NNNNB Finally there is a web-site for left-handers.

Answer 2

There is a slightly increased chance that your children may be left-handed, as genetics can play a role in handedness. However, it is not guaranteed, as there are other factors that can influence handedness as well.
