1. How is curly hair inherited? 2. Which gene is dominant and
recessive? The straight or curly hair gene? I was always taught
that curly hair is dominant over straight and that hair texture
is incompletely dominant. So if one parent is curly/curly and
the other is straight/straight their offspring would be
straight/curly which phenotypically is a combination of the two
or wavy. If both parents are wavy (ie. straight/curly) their
children could be straight, curly or wavy. I'm not sure if this
is the actual way hair texture is inherited or whether my
professors just used it as an easy but exaggerated example.
