What is Variation?
400
Straight hair is dominant over curly hair. Use the letter "h" to represent the alleles.
Draw a punnett square; cross a homozygous recessive mom with a heterozygous dad.
What are the possible genotypes along with what phenotype that genotype would show.
h h
H Hh Hh
h hh hh
Genotypes: Hh - straight hair or hh - curly hair
Percentages: Hh - 50% hh - 50%
