This is why brown eyes are more common than blue eyes— brown eyes are a dominant gene. Every person will inherit genes from their parents that affect the shape, size, and prominence of their ears. It is not uncommon to see large, protruding ears passed down from parent to child.

In otosclerosis, abnormal remodeling disrupts the ability of sound to travel from the middle ear to the inner ear. Otosclerosis affects more than three million Americans. Many cases of otosclerosis are thought to be inherited. White, middle-aged women are most at risk.

Some feline ear abnormalities are genetically transferred from parents to offspring. Among these is an inherited condition known as “fold-ears,” in which the tip of a cat's pinna is bent sharply either toward or away from the skull. This bizarre condition is not often associated with hearing loss.

In familial cases, there is evidence that Moebius syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Dominant genetic disorders occur when only a single copy of an abnormal gene is necessary for the appearance of the disease.

Achondroplasia is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. About 80 percent of people with achondroplasia have average-size parents; these cases result from new mutations in the FGFR3 gene.

Not True. I've known many Moms who were much closer to their daughters than to their sons. And it's usually the daughters who take care of the Moms when they get old. There are also many sons who are much closer to their fathers than the daughters are.

If you have brothers and sisters, they are your siblings; your mother and father are your parents. ... I suggest taking the parental 'p' to replace the 's', so aunts and uncles are 'piblings'.

Nonsyndromic genetic sensorineural hearing loss. An estimated 70-80% of hereditary hearing loss is nonsyndromic. Approximately 75% of nonsyndromic genetic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is autosomal recessive, 15-20% is autosomal dominant, and 1-3% is X-linked.

The mother or the father can pass on genes that cause clefting, either alone or as part of a genetic syndrome that includes a cleft lip or cleft palate as one of its signs.

Well, it is certainly genetic in the sense that our genes set up the muscles that let people wiggle their ears. This is the same idea as genes setting up the muscles that let us move our eyes or our tongue or anything else. ... Some people even argue that everyone can learn to wiggle their ears. It just takes practice.

Answer: An ear that is erect and now is floppy could be due to teething. What's happening in these pups is that their bodies are using their calcium for teeth development instead of developing ear structure.

Their ossicles do not vibrate normally in response to sound, and these children have a conductive hearing loss in the affected ear. Some children are born with a condition known as aural atresia. In these children, the ear canal, tympanic membrane and ossicular chain do not fully develop in one or both ears.

They are 'technically' related. It is several generations apart (over a couple hundred years). But technically everyone is related to everyone in this world. So there is also that.

Wiggle your ears. "The ability to wiggle the ears may be inherited however it can also be learned with practice," she says. "It is thought that about 10-20 percent of the population has the ability."

Epidermolysis bullosa is usually inherited. The disease gene may be passed on from one parent who has the disease (autosomal dominant inheritance). Or it may be passed on from both parents (autosomal recessive inheritance) or arise as a new mutation in the affected person that can be passed on.

By the time we are 9 years old, our ears are roughly 90% of their full size. But, like our noses, our ears never really stop growing — or more specifically, the cartilage part of your ear keeps growing (our bones reach their full size after puberty). On top of that, gravity may cause your earlobes to elongate overtime.

While there is probably some genetic influence on earlobe attachment point, family studies show that it does not fit the simple one-locus, two-allele myth. You should not use earlobe attachment to demonstrate basic genetics.
