Humans have a gene, "T" that is involved in muscle formation of the tongue. Individuals with the one allele can roll their tongu

Tongue-rolling is recessive.C. The parents were both homozygous, while the child was heterozygous.D. Tongue-rolling is dominant, and both parents were heterozygous (Tt).E.

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.

Answer: directional

Explanation:

Because only one trait was favored. When bears are cold, being bigger helps them better adapt to the coldness. Adjusting to the weather is one trait.
