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 Two homologous chromosomes with uppercase H on both at the same position.
B
Image with description Two homologous chromosomes with uppercase H on one and lowercase h on the other at the same position.
C
Image with description Two homologous chromosomes with uppercase H on one and the other chromosome unlabeled at the same position.
D
Image with description Two homologous chromosomes with lowercase h on both at the same position.

Explanation

Because tongue rolling is dominant, a person who can roll their tongue may have at least one dominant allele, H. Someone who cannot roll their tongue must have two recessive alleles, hh. Choice C shows lowercase h on both homologous chromosomes.
