A man, homozygous dominant for widows peak (WW), marries a woman with straight hairline homozygous recessive (ww). How many of their off springs will inherit straight hair line?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The genotype of the man is (homozygous dominant for widow's peak).

The genotype of the woman is (homozygous recessive for straight hairline).

A cross between the parents () will produce offspring that all have the genotype (heterozygous).

Since the allele for widow's peak () is dominant over the allele for straight hairline (), all offspring will exhibit the widow's peak phenotype.

Therefore, the percentage of offspring inheriting a straight hairline is .
