Yes! It's more likely that the child would have straight hair, but it's all about the genes.
Likely both of the straight-haired people have straight-hair dominant genes; if that's true, then there's about a 25% chance that the child would have curly hair. If the parents or even grandparents had curly hair when they were younger, it's more likely as well.
For example -- both of my parents have straight hair (but my mom had curly hair when she was younger) and my sister has straight hair as well. I turned out to have curly hair.

∙ 13y agoYes, they could have a child with either type of hair or even a child with wavy hair.
If two straight haired parents had straight haired children, but the parents-parents had curly hair, the straight haired children's kids could have curly hair too.
If anyone in the family had a different type of hair (or any feature for that matter), there is a chance that the kids or even grandkid's could get it.

∙ 12y agoThere are a lot of factors in considering this. You have to know if curly hair is a dominant or recessive allele, and also know the genotype of both the parents. After receiving all this information and creating a punnet square, probability of having children with curly hair will be shown.

Suppose that brown hair color is dominant over red hair color in humans Which of the statements is true?
If brown hair is dominant over red hair, then a person who is heterozygous for brown hair will have a brown hair phenotype. Red-haired offspring with two brown-haired parents are fairly common.
What term describes an organism with two different alleles for a trait?
Heterozygous, or hybrid. This being because a heterozygous and a hybrid mean that they phenotype consists of two different genes. For example straight hair is dominant to curly hair, S being straight and s being curly. Some people may have SS, meaning they have straight hair, and others may have ss, meaning they have color hair. But in some cases, some people would have Ss making them heterozygous. SS or ss would be homozygous.
What is a trait controlled by a single gene that has two alleles?
widows peaks,straight hair,colored hair
Who determines your blood type?
Your parents determine your blood type. Your blood type is a cross of two alleles from the parent, one from each parent. Your parents could either give you AA, AO, AB, BB, BO or OO alleles, depending on which two alleles that they have.
Dark hair parents light hair child how is this possible?
Everyone has at least two genes for hair color, but brown is dominant. If both parents have Brown-Blond genes, then they will have brown hair (because it is dominant over blond), but the child could get one blond gene from each parent and thus be Blond-Blond, and thus be blond.
What would be the probability that two straight haired parents would have a curly haired child?
1/4 100% however if one parents hair is even slightly wavy, the child could have curly hair
If two African American parents have a baby and the mother has kinky hair and the father has more curly hair how will the baby's hair turn out?
It depend who's gene is stronger if you have a sister with kinky hair it dosent mean another one will not have curly hair. did i help?
How do u get curly hair?
There are two ways: First,you can curl it with a hair curler. Secondly,you can brade your hair,sleep with it over night and then unbrade it then you will have curly hair. '='

Cute ways to put your short curly hair up?
You can have two ponytails and since you have short hair, it will look like two curly buns. I personally think that ponytails look slutty on anyone, so I don't recommend it. I would say that you put it up in a high ponytail. Or you could straighten it with a really strong straightener depending on how curly your hair is.
How is probability used in biology?
It's used commonly to estimate the traits of a child of two parents. For example, the probability of the child having blue eyes, or curly hair, or even having genetic disease.
How does curly hair relate to genetics?
The answer to your question may lie in the way that hair-type genes are inherited.First, a review of some basic genetics stuff. For most genes, you have two copies of each gene that you inherited from your mother and father. For most "traditional" genes, there is a dominant and recessive version. This all has to do with gene expression and phenotype, or what you actually end up looking like. If at least one dominant version of the gene is present, it will be expressed regardless of what the other is. The only way the recessive version will be expressed is if the dominant version isn't present. This holds true for some simple traits like whether earlobes are attached or not, where the free earlobe allele is dominant (noted as "E") and the attached (noted as "e")allele is recessive. So if at least one of your parents had free earlobes (Ee or EE), you'll have free earlobes. EDIT: if both you're parent have free ear lobes you can still get attached ear lobes in the case that there heterozygous dominate. because if both parent are Ee then you have 1/4 chance of getting ee.So why don't you see your hair-type in your parents or grandparents? Well, hair-type doesn't follow the nice and simple pattern of inheritance. Hair-type follows a type of inheritance pattern known as "incomplete dominance". Like the earlobe gene, there are two versions of the hair-type gene, curly (noted as C) and straight (noted as s). The incomplete dominance refers to the fact that if you have one of each version of the gene, you get a mix of the two or, in this case, wavy hair. So for hair type, CC gives curly, Cs gives wavy and ss gives straight hair.Without a better family history, all I can tell you is that it is possible that the curly version of the gene was carried by both of you parents as "Cs," or wavy-type. The same could also be true of your parents parents, but beyond that it gets really unlikely that "none of your ancestors" had curly-type hair. Of course, it's also possible that your curly hair might actually be wavy, or wavy-type. Outside the world of genes, wavy and curly are really just in the eye of the beholder.______While some regard curly hair on the head as a "mutation" and straight hair as the "norm" a deeper look might suggest that the opposite is the truth.Humans are believed to have originated in Africa, and to have spread from there to the rest of the world. If one looks at a typical African native one will see a person with tightly curled black hair, in a typical "Afro" style (if left to grow naturally).It is suggested this type of hair, black, tightly curled, and "bouffant" is a result of natural selection, which is due to at least 3 reasons, though the weight given to each reason is open to argument.1. Black hair is good at absorbing Ultra-violet, thus helping to prevent skin cancer on the scalp.2. The tight almost "brillo pad" effect is good at keeping sun light off the head, to prevent overheating.3. The natural "weave" of the hair is open, allowing air to circulate, aiding cooling.It is then further suggested that as these "proto-humans" left Africa and colonized the rest of the world the above 3 reasons to have black, tightly curled hair actually became a disadvantage.1. The UV levels fell, as did the average temperature. Clothing was worn to keep warm. Humans need UV exposure to produce Vitamin-D. Those with a less protective hair type were better able to produce vitamin-D. There are also theories (unproven) that blond straight hair hanging down is favored in cold countries at it has a "fiber optic" effect, catching sun-light reflected off the snow, and feeding it to the scalp.2. The "heating" effect of the sun was reduced, less need for "solar insulation."3. The colder climate favored a hair type that insulated the head from the cold, rather than allowed active cooling, as most heat is lost from the head.Hence, having straight hair is actually the "mutation," and having curly hair is normal, so at some point ALL of your ancestors had curly hair, afro Style.
Does it mean I'm not the father my partner and i has curly hair but your grown child has straight hair?
Not at all. The curly-hair gene is dominant, meaning only one of the two genes for hair curl has to be set to "on" to give you curly hair. For the heck of it, C is curly hair and c is straight hair. If you are Cc (one curly gene, one straight) and your partner is Cc, you have a 25-percent chance of producing a straight-haired kid: the child could be CC, Cc with the C gene from you, Cc with the C gene from your partner or cc. And in this case, the child is cc. So yeah, you and your partner definitely could have produced a straight-haired child.
Is there any studies done on genetics of straight and curly hair?
Can a couple (one with straight hair, one with curly) have one straight haired child and one curly haired, and one of the children has green eyes and the other blue? Both parents have green. Is this possible? The quick answer is that it is possible for the couple you describe to have kids with blue or green eyes. (Although less likely, it is even possible to have a brown-eyed child.) In terms of hair type, by the traditional sorts of theories that are out there, it isn't possible for a curly headed and a straight haired couple to have straight haired kids (or, by a strict definition, curly haired kids either!). Of course, genetics is always more complex than the traditional sorts of theories. One way for the couple you describe to have a straight haired child is if the curly headed parent actually has wavy instead of curly hair. It may seem like a minor distinction but from a genetic point of view, the difference is critical. Why would this distinction matter? Remember, that for most genes, you have two copies of each gene that you inherited from your mother and your father. For most "traditional" genes, there is a dominant and a recessive version. What this means is that if you have either one or two copies of a dominant version of a gene, you'll look like that gene. To look like the recessive version, you need two copies of the recessive form. For example, with something simple like whether earlobes are attached or not, there are two versions (or alleles) of the ear lobe attachment gene. Free earlobe (G) is dominant over attached (g). What this means is that if you inherit a G version of this gene from either your mother or father, you will have free earlobes. To have attached earlobes, you need to get a g copy from both parents. So, from a gene point of view (or genotype), both a GG and a Gg person has free earlobes and a gg has attached earlobes. So how does it work for hair type and eye color? Neither hair type nor eye color works in this simple way. There are two versions of the hair type gene, curly (C) and straight (s). Hair type is an interesting case of something called incomplete dominance. What this means is that with hair type, if you have one of each version of the gene, you get a mix of the two or wavy hair. So for hair type, CC gives curly, Cs gives wavy and ss gives straight hair. Back to your specific situation. As you can probably tell, the couple you describe could only have wavy haired kids. That is because the curly headed parents, CC, can only contribute a C gene and the straight haired parent, only an s gene. That means all the kids will be Cs and have wavy hair. Of course, wavy and curly is in the eye of the beholder! If your curly headed person actually had wavy hair, he or she would be a Cs. A wavy haired person can contribute either a C or an s gene. If paired to a straight haired person (ss), then the kids would either have straight (ss) or wavy hair (Cs). That is probably way more than you wanted to know! For eye color, I'll refer you to two questions we've answered previously. The first is a description of traditional eye color inheritance that will work well for your case. The second is a nice description about how the genetics rules are sometimes broken.
Will 2 redheaded parents produce a child with redder hair or paler skin?
This is very common, although I dont think that the color of your hair is a recessive trait, for instance if you have two parent s that are both a brunette, like mine, you could still end up look me with blonde hair. It is a recessive trait to have strait or curly hair though.
How many babies does katniss have?
She has two babies.a girl with dark hair and blue eyes.A boy with curly blond hair and gray eyes.She has the babies with Peeta.
If you have thick curly wavy hair and want to cut it short like Selena Gomez do u think it will work cuz it seems like she has thick hair just found a picture of her in the January popstar mag check?
Well if you did cut it at her length and your hair i her hair and curly... You have two options. One you leave your hair. Two cut your hair to make it look like her's and straighten your hair everyday to make it look like her's. Hope i helped :)
