The correct answer would be a heterozygous male with straight hair and a heterozygous female with straight hair

Genotypes for a heterozygous trait are: Ss

Both of the parents have Ss genotypes.

Since curly hair is a recessive trait, it needs both of the alleles for the recessive trait to be present in the genotype for it to be expressed.

If we cross multiply these genotypes, the resulting offspring would be:

SS, Ss, Ss, ss

SS- homozygous straight hair

Ss- heterozygous straight hair

ss- curly hair

In horses, the allele for straight hair (S) is dominant to the allele for curly hair-example-1
