As mentioned in the question, wavy hair is a result of phenomenon of incomplete dominance where no allele is dominant over the other.

So if we say a man with curly hair (hh) marries a woman with straight hair (HH), we need to find out will their kids have straight hair or not.

Let us cross them:

Parents:                                      hh X HH

Gametes:                                    h : h and H :H

Offspring:                                hh: Hh: hH: HH

Probability of children with straight hair (HH) = 25 %

Probability of children with curly hair (hh)  =      25%

Probability of children with wavy hair =              50 %

So there is a chance of 25 % that their kids can have straight hair.


Hope it helps!

Why are there no carriers with dominant pedigrees?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
You can't have a carrier with a dominant pedigree because other wise than individual or organism would be afflicted by the gene and render them incapable of being a carrier. A carrier is an individual/organism that has a normal phenotype (meaning it is not afflicted by said gene) but is carrying the gene that could cause disease or whatever the affect may be. In this case the gene would have to be homozygous recessive to be expressed. Hopefully this helps!
