What else can I help you with?
Earlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant. What must be true is a boy is born with attached earlobes?
He has a homozygous genotype
What is the probability that a father produces a gamete with the allele for attached earlobes if he has one allele for detached earlobes and one allele for attached earlobes?
50%
What percentage of people in United States have detached earlobes?
Studies show that roughly seventy percent of people in the world have detached earlobes, leaving thirty percent with attached earlobes. However, this is only a rough estimate based on data collected.
What is the meaning of detached earlobes?
Detached earlobes refer to earlobes that hang freely and are not connected to the side of the head. This trait is a genetic variation, with earlobe shape being influenced by heredity. Detached earlobes are often considered a dominant trait, meaning they can be passed down from one generation to the next. In contrast, attached earlobes are connected directly to the head without a free-hanging section.
Arlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e) and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant (E). What must be true if a boy is born with attached ear?
If a boy is born with attached earlobes, he must have inherited two recessive alleles (ee), one from each parent. This means that both parents must either be carriers of the recessive allele (Ee) or express the attached earlobe phenotype themselves (ee). Therefore, at least one of the parents must have the recessive allele for attached earlobes.
What must be true if a boy is born with detached earlobes?
If a boy is born with detached earlobes, both of his parents must have detached earlobes as well, as this trait is inherited. Detached earlobes are a recessive trait, meaning that both parents must pass on the gene for detached earlobes in order for the child to have them.
Is detached earlobes recessive or dominant?
Dominant. he has a homozygous genotype
How do you understand that attachment of ear lobes are inherited?
Whether or not an ear lobe is attached at its base or not depends on whether or not that person's parents had attached earlobes or not. If both parents have attached earlobes, then their children will also have attached earlobes. If both parents have detached earlobes, then their children will also have detached earlobes. But if one parent has detached earlobes, while the other has attached earlobes, their child's earlobes may be detached, attached, or only slightly attached. This is because each parent provides part of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules that exist at the center of almost every human cell. Since the cells of the body don't "know" anything, they just follow the "instructions" that DNA provides them by building themselves according to how the DNA molecule says they should be built. How this actually works is a complicated chemical process that would be better answered in a separate question, but you don't need to know how it works, only that the result is this - children get some instructions for how to build their body from their mother, and some from their father. If the instructions agree, then the cells that make up the ear will grow a definitely attached or detached earlobe. If the instructions in the child's DNA disagree, then you might get a mix, or the cells might end up paying attention only to one set of instructions or another.
What percentage of people have one detached and one attached earlobe?
The prevalence of individuals with one detached and one attached earlobe is not extensively documented in scientific literature. However, it is estimated that around 25% of the population has detached earlobes, while the majority have attached earlobes. The specific percentage of people with one of each type is likely to be quite low, possibly in the range of 1-5%, but precise statistics are not readily available.
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 is the probability of having a child with attached earlobes when an individual with attached earlobes mates with an individual heterozygous for free earlobes?
Attached earlobes are a recessive trait. When one parent has attached earlobes and the other is heterozygous for free earlobes, the chances of any particular offspring having attached earlobes is fifty percent.
What does it mean if you have two different earlobes?
I would also like to know what does this mean? I have one attached and one detached ear lobe aswell..
