In Humans, Having 6 Fingers Is Dominant Over 5 Fingers

In humans, having 6 fingers is dominant over 5 fingers. Mark and Lisa both have 5 fingers, if they have kids, what are their chances of having a kid with 6 fingers? Prove. Darwin’s point is a recessive human trait where there is a point in upper part of the ear. If a heterozygous person mates with a person with Darwin’s point, what is the chance that their kid will NOT have the point? Oak trees can have either a normal looking leaf or a very wide looking leaf. The wide looking leaf is actually the dominant trait. If a heterozygous Oak tree is crossed with a homozygous Wide leaf tree, what is the chance that the tree will have wide leaves? Birch trees can grow with two colors of bark. The dominant color is white and the recessive color is light brown. If a White tree (whose one parent was brown) is mated to a heterozygous tree, what chance does the offspring have to be light brown colored? Fruit Flies are born with wings. However, they may be born with really long wings or short wings. Actually, the short wings are the dominant trait. If a homozygous long winged fly is crossed with a homozygous short winged fly, what is chance that you end up with long winged flies? In humans, lip size is a codominant trait. There are thick lips and thin lips and they blend to show medium sized lips. Can a person with thick lips mate with a person with thin lips to get a kid with thin lips? Prove. Guinea Pigs come in two main colors, Black and yellow. However, every once in awhile we see a speckled color Guinea Pig. We find out that Black and yellow are codominant. If a black guinea pig and a speckled guinea pig are mated, what is the chance that you will end up with a yellow guinea pig? There are white sheep and black sheep, but they are codominant to each other. When put together they blend to show gray sheep. If two gray sheep mate, what is the chance that we end up with heterozygous sheep? Humans hair line is a fluctuating experience. Some people have normal hairlines and some have severely receding hairlines. However, normal blends with severely receding to show somewhat receding. If two people with severely receding hairlines mate, what is the chance that they have a kid with a normal hair line?
