How is it possible for two parents without hitchhikers thumb to have an offspring with hitchhikers thumb?
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.

What is the least amount of genetic variation among offspring?
The least amount of genetic variation among offspring occurs in asexual reproduction, where offspring are produced from a single parent without the fusion of gametes. This results in clones, meaning the offspring are genetically identical to the parent and to each other, barring any mutations. In contrast, sexual reproduction introduces genetic variation through the combination of genes from two parents, leading to diverse offspring.
When does a parent have a genetically identical offspring?
A parent has a genetically identical offspring when it reproduces asexually, meaning it produces offspring without the involvement of gametes from another parent. This process can occur through methods such as budding, fission, or vegetative reproduction, resulting in clones that share the same genetic material as the parent. In contrast, sexual reproduction typically leads to genetically diverse offspring due to the combination of genes from two parents.
Was it necessary that meiosis evolved at the same time as sexual reproduction Why or why not?
Yes, meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction because it produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes, ensuring genetic diversity in offspring. Without meiosis, the offspring would have the same number of chromosomes as the parents, resulting in no genetic variation.
What happens if you dont get any genes from a parent?
It is not possible to not inherit any genes from a parent because genes are passed down from both parents to their offspring. Each parent contributes genetic material that combines to form the unique genetic makeup of their child.
What is a sentence using the term asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction is the most common method of reproduction among bacteria.
How can two parents without hitch hiker's thumb have a child who does have hitch hiker's thumb?
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.
Can a 17 year old live on her own without parents permission?
while not recomended, it is possible for a person under 18 to aquire emancipation from his/her parents if there be juct cause or mutual consent from the parents and their ambitious offspring
Is it possible for an individual with Down syndrome to have offspring without it?
No, because people with Down syndrome can't have children.
Is it possible to get married at 15 without parents consent?
i have no idea, but i think you can if you get legally emancipated from your parents
If a black and brown rabbit mate out of 4 offspring how may would be dark brown?
If a black and brown rabbit mate, their offspring could potentially have a mix of black, brown, and dark brown fur. It is not possible to predict exactly how many offspring would be dark brown without knowing the genetics of the parents. Each offspring has a different combination of genes that determine its fur color.
How can you get adopted without your parents finding out?
You can only get adopted if your parents put you into foster care so it is not possible
Of the combination Cc and cc what is the ratio of offspring with a cleft chin to offspring without a cleft chin?
The combination Cc has a 50% chance of having a cleft chin trait, while the combination cc will always result in offspring without a cleft chin. Therefore, the ratio of offspring with a cleft chin to offspring without a cleft chin from the cross Cc and cc is 1:1.
Can you move out of your parents house in Mississippi without permission?
No, it is not possible as long as you are a minor.

How do you fix a cracked i phone 4 screen without your parents finding out?
not possible lol
What would happen if the gene for colored spots was not passed from a moth to its offspring?
If the gene for colored spots was not passed from a moth to its offspring, the offspring would not have colored spots. Traits are inherited from parents through genes, so without the gene for colored spots, the offspring would not exhibit this specific physical characteristic.
