Some people have hitchhiker's thumbs, which bend backwards with a large angle between the two segments (phalanges). The myth is that there are just two kinds of thumbs, straight thumbs (S) and hitchhiker's thumbs (H), and the trait is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, with the allele for S being dominant.This was proposed by Glass and Kistler (1953) and has been the subject of very little research since then.he myth is that there are just two kinds of thumbs, straight thumbs (S) and hitchhiker's thumbs (H), and the trait is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, with the allele for S being dominant.

Two fundamental cellular processes are cellular respiration and photosyn-thesis. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells release stored energy from sugars. Photosynthesis is the process in which producer cells use carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients to produce glucose and oxygen.
One example of this relationship is the photosynthesis of a plant, and the cellular respiration of an animal. Photosynthesis and Respiration. Photosynthesis takes place when plants take light from the sun, water from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the air, and turn it into energy, in the form of glucose, to allow the plant to function and grow.
