If you use a Punnett square, you see that there is a 25% chance of a homozygous dominant offspring, a 50% chance of a heterozygous dominant offspring, and a 25% chance of a homozygous recessive offspring. The homozygous recessive individual is the only one that will exhibit the non widows peak phenotype, therefore the chance of this is 25%

I would think it's 25%.
