<h2>Primates </h2>
Explanation:
Primates are a group of animals has flexible hands and feet, large brains in relation to body size, forward-looking eyes, and arms that can rotate in a circle around the shoulder joint
- Primates include the lemurs,lorises,monkeys,apes and humans
- The order Primates, with its 300 or more species, is the third most diverse order of mammals, after rodents and bats
- The Primates order is divided informally into three main groups: prosimians, monkeys of the New World, and monkeys and apes of the Old World
- All primates have five fingers (pentadactyly), a generalized dental pattern, and a primitive body plan
- Another distinguishing feature of primates is fingernails
- Opposing thumbs are also a characteristic primate feature
- When compared with body weight, the primate brain is larger than that of other terrestrial mammals, and it has a fissure unique to primates that separates the first and second visual areas on each side of the brain
- The eyes face forward in all primates so that the eyes visual fields overlap
- Fossils of the earliest primates date to the Early Eocene Epoch (56 million to 40 million years ago) or perhaps to the Late Paleocene Epoch (59 million to 56 million years ago)
Phenotypes are the physical characteristics that result from the genotype, which is the genetic makeup of the organism. In this case, either straight hairline or Widow's peak will be the phenotype, as they are the physical characteristics being discussed.
The questions states that a Widow's peak is dominant over straight hairline. So we are going to assume that the Widow's peak allele is W (dominant), and the straight hairline allele is w (recessive).
A dominant allele will mask the presence of a recessive allele unless both of the alleles are both recessive (both ww).
So for the WW genotype, we are going to see the dominant phenotype: Widow's peak.
For the Ww genotype, we are also going to see the dominant phenotype since the dominant allele is going to mask the presence of the recessive allele, so we are going to see: Widow's peak.
Lastly, for the ww genotype, we are going to now see the recessive phenotype, since both alleles are recessive: straight hairline. Note that their are two of these type of offspring as stated in the question.
