While the other‚ the C gene‚ stands for chance and when it is present‚ the handedness of the individual becomes highly susceptible to outside environmental factors. When the alleles are combined‚ a DD combination would yield a strongly right biased individual. A DC combination of alleles would create an individual who is mostly right

the U.K.‚ U.S. and Australia have revealed that left-handed people differ from right-handers by only one IQ point. The studies suggest that 70–90% of the world population is right-handed‚ and 10% of the world population is left-handed. Right-handedness is most common. On average‚ right handed people live nine years longer than left handed people. A good number of technological devices today are made primarily for right handed individuals‚ such as refrigerators‚ scissors‚ microwaves‚ can openers
