(no offense to any left-handers)

Why do recessive trail are more common in some cases?

They're not necessarily, but they can be. When a recessive trait is more common, it likely because it was advantageous to have that trait so the species evolved to have more of it in the gene pool. Also, since dominant traits are expressed over recessive traits, natural selection has more of an effect on them.


Do fraternal twins write with the same hands?

Fraternal twins do not necessarily write with the same hand. Hand preference is influenced by genetics and environmental factors, so it is possible for fraternal twins to have different dominant hands.


Which is my Dominant Eye?

Your dominant eye is the one that your brain relies on more heavily for visual input, typically used for tasks requiring precise vision, like aiming or reading. To determine which is your dominant eye, you can perform a simple test: extend your arm and create a small triangle with your hands while focusing on a distant object. Close one eye at a time; the eye that keeps the object centered in the triangle is your dominant eye.


What are differences between adult and baby hands?

Adult hands are typically larger in size compared to baby hands. Adult hands have well-defined joints and stronger muscles, while baby hands are more delicate and have soft, pliable bones. In addition, adult hands have more developed fine motor skills and dexterity than baby hands.


How does making a bug model illustrate Mendel's principles of heredity?

Creating a bug model can effectively illustrate Mendel's principles of heredity by demonstrating how traits are inherited through generations. By manipulating traits such as color or wing shape in the model, one can visually represent dominant and recessive alleles, as well as predict offspring traits using Punnett squares. This hands-on approach helps to clarify concepts like segregation and independent assortment, which are foundational to Mendelian genetics. Ultimately, the model serves as a practical tool for understanding the patterns of inheritance Mendel first described.

Is Hand Clasping a dominant or recessive trait?

If you clasp your hand with your left thumb over your right, this is a dominant (more common) way of doing so. People who clasp their hands with their right thumb on top have the recessive genes. Left hand on top- Ll or LL right hand on top- ll


Are dominant traits more likely to be inheritd then recessive traits?

Yes. When looking at Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance, the Dominant allele will always be inherited by the offspring, as it is more potent than the 'weaker' recessive allele (unless the recessive allele is present in both parents; this can be in the form of Aa or aa, but it must be present in both for the recessive allele to be present in the offspring). There are other cases, though, such as co-dominance, in which recessive alleles are more likely to be present in the offspring, but speaking in general terms, it is the Dominant (ex. AA / Aa) alleles that show up more commonly in offspring than the recessive (ex. aa) alleles.

Does having a dominant allele mean that it will be found in greater frequency in the population?

No. For example, the six-finger allele is dominant over the five-finger allele in humans, yet you see almost nobody with six fingers, because it has such a low frequency. It all depends on the allele frequency in a given population.


What are the similarities between mammals and primates?

Primates are not 'similar' to mammals, they ARE mammals.


What the name of a person who can use both hands?

A person who can use both hands with equal skill is called ambidextrous. This ability allows them to perform tasks equally well with either hand, which is relatively rare. Most people have a dominant hand, but ambidextrous individuals can switch between hands seamlessly.

Interlocking Fingers Fold the hands together without thinking about it If the left thumb is crossed over the right the designation is C If the right thumb is crossed over the left the person is?

I'm guessing this is genetics question. If you cross your right thumb on to of the left, then you are homozygous recessive for this trait, i.e. both of your thumb crossing genes are of the recessive type. An uppercase C is used to designate a dominant gene and lowercase c for a recessive. Thus, both CC and Cc individuals still fold their left thumbs over the right, only cc individuals fold right over left.

What do the lines on your hands represent?

Your intelligence, your emotions, your life (length of), how many "loves" you will have, what your personality will be like, etc. Your NON-dominant hand is what you were born with (what the universe/god gave you) and your dominant hand is what you did with this gift.

What hand do you use for palmistry?

In palmistry, typically the dominant hand is used to analyze the individual's character, while the non-dominant hand is believed to show inherited traits and potential. Both hands can provide insights, but the dominant hand is usually the focus for palmistry readings.
