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.

Homozygous =TT Heterozygous =Tt

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

Whoa, sorry >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (solidicecream):

Well if they both have a widow's peak all the children will have a higher chance of getting a widow's peak.

OpenStudy (solidicecream):

Same with B only with straight hair.

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (solidicecream):

now the children will have 50/50 unless one is dominant trait!

OpenStudy (destinymasha):
