Question 15 • Biology

Having the ability to roll or curl the tongue up along both sides to form a tube is a dominant trait. Which diagram represents the chromosomes in a person that does not have this ability?

Answer
A
Image with description 2 chromosomes are labeled Upper H and h.
B
Image with description 2 chromosomes are labeled h and h.
C
Image with description 2 chromosomes are labeled Upper H and Upper H.
D
Image with description 1 chromosome is labeled Upper H and the other chromosome is not labeled.

Explanation

Let H represent the dominant allele for being able to roll the tongue, and h represent the recessive allele. A person who cannot roll the tongue must have two recessive alleles, hh, because even one H would produce the dominant trait. Choice A shows two chromosomes labeled h.
