Answer:
Tongue-rolling is dominant, and both parents were heterozygous
Explanation:
Tongue rolling is a type of variation in human beings. When allelic genes are not identical as in Tt, the condition is referred to as heterozygous. An individual with such a genotypic condition is referred to as a heterozygote.
Both parents had a genotype of Tt and they could roll their tongues because T is dominant over the t gene.
T t
T TT Tt
t Tt tt
TT : Tt : tt
1 : 2 : 1
In a heterozygous parent Tt, the chance of producing T gamete from both parents is each 1/2 each. Similarly the chance of forming t gamete is 1/2. Therefore, the chance of gamete T and t fusing to get genotype Tt is 1/2*1/2=1/4.
The ratios of phenotypes are 3/4 will be able to roll the tongue and 1/4 will not be able to roll the tongue.
The mode of inheritance was monohybrid inheritance since one characteristic like tongue-rolling is controlled by a single pair of hereditary factors contributed by both parents.
The interphase prepares the cell to divide by enlarging the cell so that when it does divide, there will be space for the nucleus (if it applies to the cell) and the organelles. It will allow the cell to be able to function and later divide on its own. It replicates DNA so that the two future daughter cells will have an even number of chromosomes to remain the cell type that it's parent was.
