Hitchhicker's thumb is a condition in which a person is able to bend his thumb backwards. This trait can be seen in many people but the condition is recessive, which means a person needs two alleles for  hitchhiker's thumb to have this particular characteristics. The gene for straight thumb is commonly indicated by T while that for hitch hicker's thumb is indicated by t.

Let's see what will happen if a person heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb marries a woman who is also heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb.

P1:                       Tt                X             Tt

Gametes:            t    T            :      t        T

Offsping :          TT    :     Tt     :       tT      : tt

TT    :        25 % :     Straight thumb

Tt + tT :    50% :      Straight thumb

tt :              25% :      Hitch hicker's thumb

Therefore, there are 25 % chances that their offspring will have Hitch hicker's thumb and 75 % chances that they will have straight thumb.

Hope it help!

Help me out with this three please
Vesnalui [34]
1. I’m not really sure how to answer it, i think it’s parasitic
2. The tick is the parasite since the human is the host
3. It’s symbiosis bc it’s a long term biological interaction between two different biological organisms (the human and the tick) and in this case it’s parasitic bc one benefits off the host but it’s harmful towards the host so it doesn’t benefit each member.
Hope that helps :)
