The ability to roll your tongue is a genetically inherited trait. Some people can do it, and others can't. If you can roll your tongue, it simply means that you have inherited that trait. If you can't, then you lack it. It's genetic, and out of your control.

The anility to roll your tongue (allele T) is dominant to the (allele t) inability to roll your tongue . If mother is a homozygous tongue roller (TT) and father (tt) cant roll his tongue.?

If the mother is homozygous for the ability to roll her tongue (TT) and the father is homozygous for the inability to roll his tongue (tt), all their offspring will inherit one dominant allele (T) from the mother and one recessive allele (t) from the father. As a result, all children will have the genotype Tt, which means they will all be able to roll their tongues. Thus, every child will express the dominant trait of tongue rolling.
