If some version of a gene is dominant, then you only need one copy of that version to see a trait. For example, let’s say that the right hand gene was dominant over the left hand gene.
You’d be right-handed with either one or two copies of the right hand gene. To be left-handed, both copies would have to be the left hand gene.
So if two lefties had a baby, the baby should turn out left-handed. This is not the case for your family or lots of others either.
When people have looked at handedness, it just doesn’t follow simple rules. For example, if both parents are right-handed, there is a 1 in 10 chance of having a left-handed child. The same is true if the dad is left-handed. If the mother is left-handed, the odds rise to 2 in 10. And if both parents are left-handed, the child has a 4 in 10 chance of being left-handed.
If a classic dominant-recessive model were in play, then left-handed people would only have left handed kids. But they don’t even have left-handed kids most of the time!
I like to use the middle finger (depends though, the middle has to work the scroll..) too, but I don't see what that has to do with using a lefty with your right hand. :P
Sprung: That's kinda cool. :] I think it's safe to assume that's a good thing because.. uh, I write with my left hand.. and.. uh, look where that has gotten me. :wack: No, really though, leftys win.
You've gotta learn to play nice, Ray. The doctor said that if you had bitten me half an inch to the left, my ass would've died.
You know, I want to have a smart-ass response to a certain PM, but I'm wondering how much of a sense of humor the person that sent it has. Apparently not much, if I'm even getting this PM to begin with...
Going out to play with a gurl.
I'd like to imply that there's a chance of me getting laid but.. I kinda doubt it. Bah.
Later, gents.
