Straight hair is dominant to curly?
No, curly hair is dominant
Curly hair is recessive and straight hair is dominant A woman with curly hair marries a man who is homozygous dominant for straight hair. What are the outcomes for their children?
All of their children will have straight hair, as the father can only pass on the dominant straight hair allele. The children will inherit one straight hair allele from their father and one curly hair allele from their mother, but the dominant straight hair allele will mask the recessive curly hair allele.
What does the curly and straight hair gene control?
If you have straight hair of curly hair. I think straight haris is dominant.
Can two people with nappy hair make a straight hair child?
It is possible. If both of the parents are heterozygous, they have a gene for straight hair in them, it just means that "nappy" hair is the dominant allele. Then the recessive alleles is straight hair, then there is a 1 in 4 chance of a baby with straight hair.
Is straight hair controlled by a dominate allele or recessive allele?
Straight hair is typically controlled by a dominant allele. Curly hair is usually controlled by a recessive allele.
Wavy hair is caused by the shared expression of a allele for curly hair and an allele for straight hair?
it depends on which allele is most dominant in the parents.
Why does a person who inherits an allele for curly hair and an allele for straight hair have curly hair?
This happens because of the dominant and recessive alleles. This means that if your dad had curly hair naturally, and your mother had straight hair you would have both alleles, but your mum's gene of the straight hair was recessive. It was dominated by the curly hair gene. Bullied away, if you prefer. It is totally normal, and often happens. However, that does not mean the curly hair gene always is dominant, it just means that your curly hair gene was. If you would prefer straight hair though, you can buy straighteners, and hair straightening products.
If straight hair is genetic why do you have straight if none f your ancestors did?
it is because the parents each were heterozyous dominant. meaning each of them had a dominant allele and a recessive allele. the dominant allele would be the curly hair, and the recessive allele would be the straight hair. There would be a 1/4 chance that the child would have curly hair, and a 3/4 chance that they would have curly hair. Say that the Curly hair allele was H and the straight hair allele was h. In order for the parents to have curly hair, they would either have to have an HH gamete or an Hh gamete. Seeing as though the child came out with curley hair, both parents would have to have an Hh gamete. In order to find out the probability, you multiply the parents gametes. (Hh)(Hh). This will give you HH, Hh, Hh, hh. seeing has three of the gametes have the dominant allele, this child will have curly hair, and one is a homozygous recessive, so it will turn out with straight hair.
If a baby goat received dominant gene for curly hair from one parent and recessive gene for straight hair from the other which trait will the baby goat display?
curly hair, as the dominant gene overrules the recessive gene I THINK :)
What is the recessive hair type?
The recessive hair type refers to the genetic trait responsible for straight hair. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the straight hair gene (one from each parent) in order to have straight hair. If only one copy is inherited, the dominant curly hair gene will be expressed instead.
Can someone give you a List of dominant or recessive personality traits?
1. Shape of face (probably polygenic) Oval dominant, square recessive 2. Cleft in chin No cleft dominant, cleft recessive 3. Hair curl (probably polygenic) Assume incomplete dominance Curly: homozygous Wavy: heterozygous Straight: homozygous 4. Hairline Widow peak dominant, straight hairline recessive 5. Eyebrow size Broad dominant, slender recessive 6. Eyebrow shape Separated dominant, joined recessive 7. Eyelash length Long dominant, short recessive 8. Dimples Dimples dominant, no dimples recessive 9. Earlobes Free lobe dominant, attached recessive 10. Eye shape Almond dominant, round recessive 11. Freckles Freckles dominant, no freckles recessive 12. Tongue rolling Roller dominant, nonroller recessive 13. Tongue folding Inability dominant, ability recessive 14. Finger mid-digital hair Hair dominant, no hair recessive 15. Hitch-hiker's thumb Straight thumb dominant, hitch-hiker thumb recessive 16. Bent little finger Bent dominant, straight recessive 17. Interlaced fingers Left thumb over right dominant, right over left recessive 18. Hair on back of hand Hair dominant, no hair recessive 19. Tendons of Palmar Muscle Two tendons dominant, three tendons recessive
What is a gene not dominant or recessive called?
Yes, it is called co-dominance. It appears in hair textures and, well, other stuff. example: straight hair is hh wavy hair is Hh curly hair is HH there is no dominant, just a sort of blend, even though wavy hair is more likely.
