Ruby's father has curly hair and her mother has straight hair. Ruby, however, has wavy hair. What could be the reason for this?
curly + straight hair = wavy hair
lol ok
is there a D
no
ok
curly hair and wavy hair are some what connect in the genetic pool
since ruby's father has curly hair and the mom has straight hair ruby gets half of both of them and then her hair comes out to be wavy due to Incomplete dominance
So the answer isn't that wavy is a combination of the two, I'm pretty sure it's because one or both parents hold the wavy hair gene but just don't express it on the outside
What would that be called?
The gene for curly hair has multiple alleles, and Ruby has the allele for wavy hair. . . C. Ruby inherited both alleles, which are incompletely dominant.
