In humans, the allele for a widow's peak is dominant to the allele for a straight hairline. In a family with three children, two of the children have a straight hairline and one child has a widow's peak. Which of the following is possible?
One parent is homozygous for a widow's peak, and the other is homozygous for a straight hairline.
Both parents are homozygous for a widow's peak.
Both parents are homozygous for a straight hairline.
One parent is homozygous for a straight hairline, and the other is heterozygous.
