Bent Pinkies Pedigree
Bent Pinkies Pedigree In the pedigree chart of my family, I follow the line of a dominant trait that only a few people have, bent pinkies. I have bent pinkies, my mom has bent pinkies and my gram and great-gram have bent pinkies. I decided to see who else has them too! First I went through my mom’s side and wrote down names of four generations- starting with my great-grandparents and going all the way down to my brother and me. After constructing the chart I looked at all the details- I noticed how no males have the trait and it’s only the women that are actually in the family. Seeing how the males don’t have the trait, I concluded that they must be homozygous recessive for normal pinkies and the females are heterozygous. I identified each

    Dominant Thumb Lab Report

    • 298 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Upon reading the literature that the researcher found by googling, "Thumb Dominance," they discovered that almost every human being has a dominant thumb whether it be the right thumb or the left thumb on top after naturally clasping their hands together. However, if the individual tries to force their clasped hands to let the other thumb become dominant it 's most often described as feeling awkward or abnormal. In 1999, a scientist by the name of Reiss completed 18 studies of parents and their children regarding this topic. What he discovered was that this dominant thumb issue could have something to do with basic genetics between the parents and their children.…

    The theory of genetics has been examined by many theorists who believe that genetics is the key contributing factor to the cause of handedness. The only genetic models that successfully explain the family incidence data are those of Annett and McManus, which share the feature of including a random component reflecting the biological occurrence of unpredictable irregularity. The models have each been modified to explain the greater incidence of left-handedness in males. The most predominant theory of handedness is Annett's (1972) right shift theory. The theory poses that a single autosomal gene labeled the right shift (rs+) gene if dominant in a person carrying at least one copy were mostly right-handed and those absent from carrying the gene would have a and fifty-fifty chance of being either right-handed or left-handed. The model allows for a strong…
