Clint Eastwood, who has an extreme form of attached ear lobe.. Earlobes average about 2 centimeters long, and elongate slightly with age. [7] Although the "free" vs. "attached" appearance of earlobes is often presented as an example of a simple "one gene – two alleles" Mendelian trait in humans, earlobes do not all fall neatly into either category; there is a continuous range from one ...
Mendelian traits behave according to the model of monogenic or simple gene inheritance in which one gene corresponds to one trait. Discrete traits (as opposed to continuously varying traits such as height) with simple Mendelian inheritance patterns are relatively rare in nature, and many of the clearest examples in humans cause disorders.

The "Live with Kelly and Ryan" co-host revealed this week that she got plastic surgery on her earlobes after her "earholes tore all the way through" and left her ears "hanging like gauges." As a ...
Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings.Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling.
But for Hammack, who was born in Mexico City, Mexico, piercing her daughter's ears had an important cultural significance. In Latin cultures, she explains, infant female ear piercing is routine.
Dangle earrings (also known as drop earrings) are designed to suspend from the bottoms of the earlobes. Their lengths vary from a centimeter or two, all the way to brushing the wearer's shoulders. A pierced dangle earring is generally attached to the ear with a thin wire passing through the earlobe.
