Human Traits

The following are considered to be single gene traits—expressions of

various combinations of two alleles at one gene locus. Find out if your
traits are dominant or recessive and plot them on the genetic wheel to see
genetic variation within your class.

Laugh dimples
ll no dimples (homozygous recessive)
L dimples (heterozygous or homozygous dominant)

Tongue roll
tt can’t roll tongue into “U” shape (homozygous recessive)
T can roll tongue into “U” shape (heterozygous or homozygous
dominant )

Crossing Thumbs
cc right thumb on top of clasped hands (homozygous recessive)
C left thumb on top of clasped hands (heterozygous or homozygous
dominant )

Pinkies
pp pinkies are straight when pressed side by side (homozygous recessive)
P pinkies bend away from each other, toward the ring fingers, when
pressed side by side (heterozygous or homozygous dominant)

Ear lobes
ee attached ear lobe (homozygous recessive)
E free ear lobe (heterozygous or homozygous dominant)

Widow’s peak
ww no widow’s peak (homozygous recessive)
W has a widow’s peak (heterozygous or homozygous dominant)

Bending thumbs (Hitch-hiker’s thumb)

bb thumb bends at 90 degree angle (homozygous recessive)
B thumb is straight (heterozygous or homozygous dominant)
