GIVEN:

Dominant traits (indicated by capital letters):

Straight hair = S

Smooth chin = C

Recessive traits (indicated by small letters):

Curly hair = s

Rough chin = c

Let us say the male has straight hair and a rough chin (Sscc) while the female has straight hair and a smooth chin (SSCc).

> The male carries a heterozygous genotype for straight hair (Ss) and a homozygous recessive genotype for a rough chin (cc).

> The female carries a homozygous dominant genotype for straight hair (SS) and a heterozygous genotype for a smooth chin (Cc).

Let us cross the male and female using a Punnett square.

Sscc will be Sc, Sc, sc, and sc.

SSCc will be SC, Sc, SC, and Sc.

The offspring will have the following possible genotypes: SSCc (straight hair and a smooth chin), SsCc (straight and a smooth chin), SScc (straight hair and a rough chin), and Sscc (straight hair and a rough chin).

The offspring will have the following possible genotypes: SSCc and SsCc.

A cross between Sscc and sscc will have following offspring genotypes: Sscc and sscc.

A cross between SSCc and sscc will have following offspring genotype: SsCc.

A cross between Sscc and ssCC will have following offspring genotypes: SsCc and ssCc.

A cross between sscc and SsCc will have following offspring genotypes: SsCc, sscc, and Sscc.

I will use a square to indicate male and a circle to indicate female for the pedigree diagram.
