Tongue rolling ability is primarily genetic, meaning it is inherited and not something that can be learned or acquired. It is controlled by a single gene with two possible variations, determining whether an individual can roll their tongue or not.
The ability to roll the tongue is determined by a dominant gene (T) and a recessive gene (t). A man who can roll his tongue would have the genotype Tt or TT, with the phenotype of being able to roll his tongue.
Approximately 70-80% of the population can roll or flip their tongue back. The ability to do so is thought to be a genetic trait.
The ability to roll one's tongue is a trait influenced by a dominant allele (R) and a recessive allele (r). The male with genotype Rr can pass on either the R or r allele, while the female with genotype rr can only pass on the r allele. Therefore, their children could inherit either Rr (able to roll their tongue) or rr (unable to roll their tongue), resulting in a 50% chance of having the ability to roll their tongues.
Some people can roll their tongues up into tubular shapes; this is the result of genetics, so a person who can do this can be called a genetic tongue roller (not that there is any important reason to roll up your tongue).

The ability to roll your tongue is a genetically inherited trait. Some people can do it, and others can't. If you can roll your tongue, it simply means that you have inherited that trait. If you can't, then you lack it. It's genetic, and out of your control.
Being able to roll your tongue is a genetic trait controlled by a single gene with two alleles. If you can roll your tongue, you are likely to have inherited the dominant allele for tongue rolling. If you cannot roll your tongue, you likely have inherited the recessive allele.
The ability to roll the tongue is determined by a dominant gene (T) and a recessive gene (t). A man who can roll his tongue would have the genotype Tt or TT, with the phenotype of being able to roll his tongue.
Being able to roll your tongue is dominant, not being able to is recessive. Therefore, if you can roll your tongue, you have either a homozygous dominant gene for being able to roll your tongue, or a heterozygous gene. If you cannot, then you have a homozygous recessive gene.
Yes, the ability to roll your r's is linked to genetics. It is more common in populations with certain genetic variations, making it easier for some individuals to perform this linguistic sound. However, with practice, many people can develop the ability to roll their r's regardless of their genetic predisposition.
No Flamingos can NOT roll their tongue.
If the individuals can't roll their tongue, then the child won't be able to roll it's tongue. If they can roll their tongue, then the child will be able to roll it's tongue. it just depends.
