These determine the way things will shape up. Most genes have variations in them called alleles. Notice how some people have a straight hairline and others might have a widow’s peak- Let’s get to the root of that.
While in the majority of the human race, it works the other way round. And here’s something to think about, 30% of all identical twins do not share the trait!Ī cleft chin is rather uncommon and comes about in people as a result of a dominant gene and a recessive smooth chin gene. What is interesting to note is that it is a single gene that is responsible for the presence or lack of tongue rolling. Some people have the dominant gene which enables then to roll their tongue while others don’t. This is due to the working of the dominant and recessive gene. Some people are able to roll their tongue while others can’t. The dimple trait which remained as a recessive gene during the parents conception, will have become a dominant gene during the grandchild’s conception and therefore comes about in the form of a dimple. This is because they are passed on from the grandparents or even great grandparents. Sometimes we also see that the parents might not have dimples and yet a child has them. People who do not have dimples carry a recessive gene of the ‘dimple’ trait and therefore they do not have dimples. Notice how some people have dimples while others don’t- That’s because a dimple is caused due to a dominant gene which carries the ‘dimple’ trait. Whereas detached earlobes are those in which the lobe seems as if it is detached. They appear to be one complete structure. Attached earlobes are those in which the lobes are joined to the side of the head. The attached earlobes and the detached earlobes. Use this list to see which category you fall under. She could pass that on to her own child.Here is a list of inherited traits in humans. YES! HOW?If the curly haired girl has a genotype that shows INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, she still has an allele for straight hair. This is called incomplete dominance.ĬANDY QUESTION: Could it be possible for this little girl to have her own daughter some day with straight hair? KP #5: Sometimes the dominant gene does not completely overpower the recessive gene. What about wavy hair? What gene combination do you think creates wavy hair? (THINK PHYSICAL) Ex: Curly hair = phenotypeWhos tired of saying GENE COMBINATION?Genotype or Phenotype?LETS PRACTICE!Jj:Cc:Tt:GenotypeGenotypeGenotypeFreckles:PhenotypeStraight hair line:PhenotypeDimples:Phenotype (THINK GENE) EX: Aa = genotypeĪnother word for trait or the way an organism looks or behaves is PHENOTYPE. aaLETS PRACTICE!Will these gene combinations show a Dominant or a Recessive Trait?bbTTrrFfGgLLRECESSIVERECESSIVEDOMINANTDOMINANTDOMINANTDOMINANTKP# 4: Another word for gene combinations is GENOTYPE. KP #3: A recessive trait will show ONLY if you have TWO recessive genes. Which guy do you think represents the dominant gene and which guy represents the recessive gene?DOMINANT! DOMINANT BEATS RECESSIVE WHATS THE RULE?KP #2: A dominant trait will show if you have ONE or TWO dominant genes. recessive means weakLETS PRACTICE!Is it a Dominant or a Recessive Gene?bTrfgLRECESSIVERECESSIVERECESSIVERECESSIVEDOMINANTDOMINANTOur two genes combine to make a trait:ĪA = two dominant genes = shows dominant traitaa = two recessive genes = shows recessive traitAa = one dominant and one recessive geneWhat do you think will show? Dominant means strongThis guy represents a recessive gene. KP#1: There are two types of genes: dominant (CAPITAL LETTER) and recessive (lowercase letter). How do we inherit either form of one of these traits? no cleft chinHairline: Two forms?Handedness: Two forms?Earlobes: Two forms?`Curliness of hair: Two forms?Freckles: Two forms? What are some examples of traits controlled by only ONE gene (from your HW!)Widows peak vs. These are the traits that you either have one form or the other. So lets focus on some traits that are only controlled by ONE gene.
