Is detached earlobes recessive or dominant?
Dominant. he has a homozygous genotype
Arlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e) and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant (E). What must be true if a boy is born with attached ear?
If a boy is born with attached earlobes, he must have inherited two recessive alleles (ee), one from each parent. This means that both parents must either be carriers of the recessive allele (Ee) or express the attached earlobe phenotype themselves (ee). Therefore, at least one of the parents must have the recessive allele for attached earlobes.
Which describes a Mendelian trait A.Human body mass is controlled by many genes. B.Humans either have attached earlobes or detached earlobes. C.Plants can grow to a wide range of heights. D.Blood?
B. Humans either have attached earlobes or detached earlobes describes a Mendelian trait. This trait follows a simple inheritance pattern, where it is determined by a single gene with two alleles, resulting in distinct phenotypic categories. In contrast, options A and C involve polygenic traits influenced by multiple genes, while D is incomplete and does not specify a trait.
Are earlobes a recessive gene?
Yes, the inheritance of free-hanging earlobes (referred to as the "unattached" phenotype) is often thought to follow a simple recessive pattern, with the unattached earlobes trait being recessive to attached earlobes. This means that to have free-hanging earlobes, an individual would need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele.
In the family tree below people with the recessive trait of attached earlobes are shaded gray. What must be true about the person labeled A?
Person A must carry at least one dominant allele for unattached earlobes, as they are not shaded gray and therefore do not express the recessive trait of attached earlobes. If A had two recessive alleles, they would exhibit the attached earlobe trait. Additionally, A could be homozygous dominant or heterozygous for the trait, meaning they might have a parent or sibling with attached earlobes as a result of inheriting the recessive allele.
What must be true if a boy is born with detached earlobes?
If a boy is born with detached earlobes, both of his parents must have detached earlobes as well, as this trait is inherited. Detached earlobes are a recessive trait, meaning that both parents must pass on the gene for detached earlobes in order for the child to have them.
Is detached earlobes recessive or dominant?
Dominant. he has a homozygous genotype
Earlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant. What must be true is a boy is born with attached earlobes?
He has a homozygous genotype
How can you tell if you have attached or detached earlobes?
If they attach directly to the side of the head, they are attached earlobes. If they don't they are unattached.
What percentage of people in United States have detached earlobes?
Studies show that roughly seventy percent of people in the world have detached earlobes, leaving thirty percent with attached earlobes. However, this is only a rough estimate based on data collected.
What is the probability that a father produces a gamete with the allele for attached earlobes if he has one allele for detached earlobes and one allele for attached earlobes?
50%
What is true if a boy is born with detached earlobes?
He has at least ONE E allele
What percentage of people have detached earlobes?
it is a dominant trait so about 75% i would say
Are ear lobs that are attached dominant or recessive?
It was said earlier that, "Unattached earlobes are the dominant trait, twice as many people have unattached earlobes compared to attached." There is not actually any real proof that unattached earlobes are dominant. While more people may have unattached earlobes, attached earlobes are dominant. This was proved in a pedigree which covered three generations of extended families.
How do you understand that attachment of ear lobes are inherited?
Whether or not an ear lobe is attached at its base or not depends on whether or not that person's parents had attached earlobes or not. If both parents have attached earlobes, then their children will also have attached earlobes. If both parents have detached earlobes, then their children will also have detached earlobes. But if one parent has detached earlobes, while the other has attached earlobes, their child's earlobes may be detached, attached, or only slightly attached. This is because each parent provides part of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules that exist at the center of almost every human cell. Since the cells of the body don't "know" anything, they just follow the "instructions" that DNA provides them by building themselves according to how the DNA molecule says they should be built. How this actually works is a complicated chemical process that would be better answered in a separate question, but you don't need to know how it works, only that the result is this - children get some instructions for how to build their body from their mother, and some from their father. If the instructions agree, then the cells that make up the ear will grow a definitely attached or detached earlobe. If the instructions in the child's DNA disagree, then you might get a mix, or the cells might end up paying attention only to one set of instructions or another.
Arlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e) and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant (E). What must be true if a boy is born with attached ear?
If a boy is born with attached earlobes, he must have inherited two recessive alleles (ee), one from each parent. This means that both parents must either be carriers of the recessive allele (Ee) or express the attached earlobe phenotype themselves (ee). Therefore, at least one of the parents must have the recessive allele for attached earlobes.
Why do more people have attached rather than unattached earlobes?
The presence of attached or unattached earlobes is determined by genetics. The trait for unattached earlobes is dominant, meaning that it is more common in the population. This is why more people tend to have attached earlobes.
