For a student to have inherited left handedness from parents who are both right handed, it means that the left-handed trait is recessive in both parents.

The pattern of inheritance of handedness can, thus, said to be simple dominant/recessive with the right handedness trait being dominant while the left handedness is recessive.

Let us assume that right-handedness is represented by the allele A and left-handedness by the allele a.

The two parents are heterozygous, hence, their genotypes each would be Aa.

                Aa   x   Aa

            AA   Aa   Aa   aa

From the cross, 3/4 of their children would be right handed (AA or Aa) while 1/4 would be left handed (aa). The student in question must have been from the 1/4.

What is the significance of chromosomes crossing over during the prophase stage of meiosis?
Fittoniya [83]
Well, when chromosomes cross over during prophase 1 of meiosis, the homologous pair of chromosomes exchange segments of DNA which happen to be the genes. So the significance of crossing-over during prophase 1 is that it adds genetic variation to sexually reproducing organisms.
