Well the straight thumb is dominant while the hitch hikers thumb is recessive
I learned it was called a hitchhiker's thumb. its when your thumb is bent backward at the top.
He put medicine on his swelling thumb. She had a ring on her ring finger, her index finer, and her thumb. At night the baby sucks his thumb.
The percentage of Asian people that are very smart in school is the whole 100 percent of them.
You bend over if on the floor open your fingers so that your thumb is on the opposite side of your 4 fingers, (some people only use 3 or 2), center the pencil in the middle of your fingers and thumb then close in your fingers so that the pencil gets caught in between your thumb and fingers finally lift your arm with the pencil and then your done.
The dominant trait is hitchhiker's thumb and the letter is H, and the recessive trait straight thumb is h

They could have hitchhikers thumb, widows peaks, attached earlobes, and the ability to roll the tongue.
No, the hitchhiker's thumb refers to a genetic trait that allows the thumb to bend backward at an angle greater than 90 degrees. It is not a gesture but a physical characteristic.

Approximately 25-30% of people have a hitchhiker's thumb, which is characterized by the ability to bend the tip of the thumb backwards at an angle of 90 degrees or more. It is an inherited trait caused by a genetic variation in the joint of the thumb.
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.
Hitchhiker's thumb is a trait associated with a specific genetic variation, typically considered a recessive trait. If both parents carry one recessive allele for hitchhiker's thumb (heterozygous for the trait), they can pass this allele to their offspring. When the child inherits the recessive allele from both parents, they will express the trait, even though neither parent exhibits it. Thus, it's possible for two parents without the trait to have a child with hitchhiker's thumb if they are both carriers of the recessive gene.
No. strickly speaking hitchhikers thumb is autosomal recessive. that means each parent has two copies of the gene if they are true "hitchhikers". That means the only possible outcome is that all offspring will also have two copies. Of course if one of the parents is just hyperextendible and does not have the genes that's different. The child could also just not be very extendible but have the genes. But genetically there is no other options.
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.
