Genetics/Heretity Blog

Mom: attached ear lobes (ee), hair on fingers (FF), widows peak (Ww), straight hair (Hh), smooth chin (cc), no dimples (dd)
Dad: unattached ear lobes (EE), hair on fingers (FF), widows peak (Ww), straight hair (Hh), smooth chin (cc), dimples (DD)
My Traits: unattached ear lobes, hair on fingers, no widows peak, straight hair, smooth chin, dimples

From the example of traits, I have both traits from my dad and mom. By guessing I would think that my Mom has the genotypes of ee, FF, Ww, Hh, cc, and dd. My Dad should have EE, FF, Ww, Hh, cc, and DD. I have proof that I have traits from both parents because you have to have half of the genetics of one parents and the other half from the other parent and also I have one trait that neither my parents have so that must mean they must have one ressesive trait each.
