Hey people, just wondering if you could help me out with a little homework here.

So question 1: When holding your thumb up is it straight or bent?

Question 2: When placing your thumb over interlaced fingers, hold your own hands basically, does your left thumb go over your right one or your left one go over your right?

Question 3: Can you or can't you roll your tongue?

Question 4: Do you have attached ear lobes?

Help me continue to be anti-social and answer please! :smallamused:

So question 1: When holding your thumb up is it straight or bent? Bent, a lot, I'd say the first joint is at a 45+ degree angle to the rest of the thumb (I am evidently creepily flexible. I've weirded more than one person out when sitting in positions that are prefectly comfortable for me, and my toes and spread really far. I never realized this as strange until I was sitting with the soles of my feet touching on a bed and my boyfriend goes "...that's comfortable?" Then he asked how far I could lean down while sitting like that. I was able to go completely flat. He was in shock.)

Question 2: When placing your thumb over interlaced fingers, hold your own hands basically, does your left thumb go over your right one or your left one go over your right? Right thumb over my left thumb

Question 3: Can you or can't you roll your tongue? I can

Question 4: Do you have attached ear lobes? Unattached FTW, I think...

Would you mind helping me a bit then? I'm confused on how to convert the survey into a punnett square because there are possible genotypes for each trait. Like I know straight thumb in dominant but it could be TT or Tt, so which one would I put in the punnett square?

This is hard because you are only seeing the expressed phenotype of the trait, not the genetic genotype. Mendelian dominant traits are expressed whether they are heterozygous or homozygous dominant, and that is all you have to work with. Also, all those traits you listed are Mendelian, so the math is generally simplified for ease of use. Let me use an example. Say 4/20 people say then can not roll their tongue. The ratio here is 1:4, since I assume you are working with 2x2 punnett squares, there is only one way to get an outcome of 1:4, and that is crossing TtxTt and getting homozygous recessive (tt). Like wise, if ratios are higher, like 16/20 or 3:4, that is obtainable by crossing TtxTt and getting results of TT, Tt, Tt, tt. But if you cross TT and tt, there is only one outcome (Tt), same for crossing two homozygotes with a like partner (TTxTT OR ttxtt).

It all comes down to ratios and working backwards and checking ratios, if a ratio approaches 1:1 that Mendelian trait is likely to be homozygous dominant (TT) (or recessive if a dominant trait is not present within the allele pool) within your sample size. I tried to simplify this without going into summation equations or more complicated algebra and I hope this helps. Also, just be sure to take into account that the data can potentially be flawed, but I hope this directs you in the right direction.

Also:

1: Straight Bent, I misunderstood the question., I have hitchhiker's thumb and proud of it.
2: Right over left.
3: I can not roll my tongue (I know this one is recessive.)
4: Detached Lobe

if it helps, I can also taste that really nasty chemical they put on paper, it will likely come up soon.

So question 1: When holding your thumb up is it straight or bent?

I thumbs bend at almost 90 degree angles. More than one person as thought my thumb was broken. I don't mean freakish... I mean... "Holy **** dude, your thumb is broken!"

My pinky toes also appear to bend towards my other toes rather than down. Upon seeing this, more than one person as thought THEY were broken too.


Question 2: When placing your thumb over interlaced fingers, hold your own hands basically, does your left thumb go over your right one or your left one go over your right?

Right over left.


Question 3: Can you or can't you roll your tongue?

I cannot. I make up for it by being very good at... other things. If you catch my drift. :smallwink:

I'm referring to my gourmet palette, you perverts!


Question 4: Do you have attached ear lobes?

I'm... not actually entirely sure what that means. I study law, not lobes. Could someone please explain?

THe bottom part of the ear, where rings are usualy peirced into, are they attached to your head.

Well, I knew what lobes are... I was just thinking... "Attached to what? The rest of the ear? How would it work if they weren't?" And then I started visualizing some sort of freak with earlobes that just float in the air next to his ears.

And then I decided that my literalism was stupid and that I should just ask. And then I decided to eat a cookie. And all was well with the world once again.


So, to answer the question, attached.

Since there seems to be some misinterpretation in the first question, the straight/bent is in relation to the thumb itself, not it's orientation from the hand.

Are we really suggesting for the people here to perform test-crosses? I don't know if the Punnett square even applies here. Doesn't it assume you're getting offspring? I don't think you can use those ratios in populations -- in fact, I'm pretty sure you can't, since I've been studying genetics for the past two months.

The way you usually predict how many are homozygous dominant and how many heterozygous is by assuming there's a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (having a ratio of p^2:2pq:q^2 where p and q are allelic frequencies). I can look up the exact procedure sometime if you want me to.

As for the survey:
1. Bent.
2. Left thumb over right thumb.
3. I never knew what they meant by that one. Does that mean I can't?
4. Attached.

You are correct. I just saw "punnett square" and went straight for individual offspring, which is what I associate punnett square with. (And made myself look dumb in the process.) HW equilibrium can be called "the punnett square" for populations. (see table below)

However, since TT and Tt are indistinguishable , being complete dominance (I think), it makes things a bit more complicated. To estimate q, we just need to take the square root of the frequency of aa (see table below.) then bring the formula back into correct form. That would give you an approximation of the Aa frequency. Hopefully, that would show you just where to assign your values. Finally, check it with chi squared for deviation. I want to do this little project now, sounds like fun.

I guess I was thinking individuals instead of realizing it was a population related question. You can use a punnett square for HW, this is what it would look like:

3. I can both ways.
4. I wish, but no.

My physical gene expression may be fairly typical, but as you can see, my brain is completely mutated. If that helps your survey at all.

4. (what do you mean, I have ear lobes on my ears, however they are flexible if that's what you mean)

For all those who are confused on the attached earlobe thing... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earlobe)

see the little diagram with the two ears on it.

Hope that clears stuff up.

1. Way bent. Roughly 90 degrees. With a little force from my other hand I can bend my thumb back to touch my wrist.

2. Right over left. For the record I'm right handed and left eyed.

3. Tongue rolls quite well.

4. Big floppy detached earlobes.

Other traits just for the hell of it include a lack of widow's peak, slight webs between digits, and overall but not extreme double jointedness

1. Umm...slightly curved? Probably more bent than straight.

2. Could anyone provide an illustration for this one, as I'm not quite sure I understand? If I 'shake hands' with myself it's right-over-left. If I interlace my fingers ('here is the church, here is the steeple...) it's left-over-right.

3. Yes.

4. Yes, very attached.

1. Straight. Assuming you meant thumbs up hand signal.

2. Right over left. Can consciously switch.

3. Usually roll every which way except fold the outer edges under.

4. I have lobes, so I guess unattached except by what's needed to keep them from being free-floating.:smallwink:

So question 1: When holding your thumb up is it straight or bent?

Question 2: When placing your thumb over interlaced fingers, hold your own hands basically, does your left thumb go over your right one or your left one go over your right?

Question 3: Can you or can't you roll your tongue?

Question 4: Do you have attached ear lobes?

1 - bent
2 - left on top
3 - yes I can
4 - yes

Question 1: When holding your thumb up is it straight or bent?
Straight. But the base is double-jointed so that part's a little weird. :smalltongue:

Question 2: When placing your thumb over interlaced fingers, hold your own hands basically, does your left thumb go over your right one or your left one go over your right?
right over left (I'm a lefty)

Question 3: Can you or can't you roll your tongue?
Can and proud of it

Question 4: Do you have attached ear lobes?
attached

Same answers as mine, including the double-jointed thumb. Are we related somehow? :smallbiggrin:
