How can two parents with a dominant trait like a widow's peak have a child with a recessive straight hairline?
Yes, because they can carry the trait from their parents. You would need to look at the grandparents on both sides. If one grandparent on the maternal and one on paternal side had a widows peak then the parents could both be a carrier to the widow peak gene (wW), meaning they could produce a child with a widows peak. However, if both the maternal and or paternal grandparents lack a widows peak then it is impossible for a grandchild to have a widows peak because both parents would be recessive ww (straight hairline).
