Is an Adams apple inherited

The size and prominence of the Adam's Apple, or laryngeal prominence, can be influenced by genetics, but it is not directly inherited in a simple Mendelian fashion. It typically develops during puberty due to hormonal changes, particularly increased testosterone in males, which can lead to a more pronounced Adam's Apple. While family traits can play a role in physical characteristics, the presence and size of an Adam's Apple are more associated with biological sex and individual development than with direct inheritance.
