The
Introduction:
Phenotype of a person describes the physical properties which is observable. It can be observed by the appearance, development and behavior of the organism. In humans each somatic cell carried out 46 chromosomes, these chromosomes are present in 23 pairs of chromosomes. Among them 22 pairs are called homologous chromosomes and termed as autosomes. Tongue rolling is an autosomal dominant trait.
