BIOMORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN POPULLATION IN GJILAN AND KAMENICA (KOSOVO) AND THEIR GENETIC STRUCTURE

In order to observe the spread of biomorphological qualities in the population of Kosovo, we took samples from different villages in Gjilan and Kamenica. In this research, we also engaged the students of the Department of Dentistry and Food Sciences and Biotechnology at UBT. These qualities have been collected by interviewing families in the municipality mentioned. The biomorphological qualities included in this study are: Black or blue eyes, free or attached earlobe, blunt or blunt tongue, left arm over right or right over left, right thumb hand over the left and vice versa, the index finger smaller than the ring finger and vice versa, and blood groups. By calculating the frequencies of the dominant-recessive genotype, the dominant and recessive allele, and by comparing the obtained results, we can give an opinion on the genetic differences or similarities with the population of Kosovo (Gjilan and Kamenica). In this study, 470 individuals were included for each quality involved, while for the blood groups where the Rhesus factor was investigated, 335 individuals were evident.
