Is hitchhikers thumb dominant or recessive allele?
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.
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.

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.
