Question

In humans, straight hair can be represented as ss and curly hair as ss. hair texture exhibits incomplete dominance. a man with curly hair (ss) has children with a woman with wavy hair (ss). what are the chances that their children will have curly hair?

Answer 1

50 percent chance of curly hair

Answer 2

The correct answer would be 50 percent.

The genotype of a father would be homozygous dominant, that is, SS.

The genotype of a father would be homozygous dominant, that is, Ss.

The cross would result in the production of offspring with two possible types of genotypes SS and ss in the ratio 1:1.

Thus, probability of an offspring to have curly hair (SS) would be 50 percent.
