Yes, polydactylism is autosomal dominant.
In the presence of one dominate gene
A trait like this must be homozygous dominate.
The condition of having six fingers on each hand is known as hexadactyly. It is a rare genetic abnormality that can occur in humans and animals, including giants in folklore and myths. This unique trait can sometimes be passed down through generations within families.
Being born with six fingers is actually a dominant trait and the probability of the children would be 75% with six fingers and 25% with five fingers if both parents were heterozygous for that trait. If both parents were homozygous dominant for that trait then there is a 100% probability of the children being born with six fingers.
A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.
dominate is you strong trait, and ressesive is your weak trait
heterozygous?
In the presence of one dominate gene
When the allele that codes for the dominant trait is expressed in the genome.
A mutation can be either recessive or dominant depending on what trait it is.
no not always they can transmit a dominate trait also
A trait like this must be homozygous dominate.
Homozygous is when two traits are the exact same. So it just depends on the trait you have.
Yes having 6 fingers on your hand is a dominant trait. Most people who have this trait get the extra finger cut off after birth. There is a small group in the world where the people there have 6 fingers.
One dominate, one recessive
