If I used to have straight hair till about 25 years then a bit wavy is my genotype straight or wavy. My son is very curly and husband a bit wavy. Is that normal?
Genotype for straight hair is recessive and for curly hair is dominant. So lets suppose this:
h = straight hair
H = curly hair
Then to get straight hair, for it being a recessive for that characteristic, your children must be hh. If they are Hh, hH, or HH, they will have curly hair
You, for having straight hair are hh, your husband can be Hh or HH.
If you quickly use Punnett square (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square) to see the odds of each possible genotype your children might have, you will have the following:
If hh + Hh:
1) hH > curly
2) hh > straight
Result: 50% chances of getting straight hair
If hh + HH:
1) hH > curly
2) hH > curly
Result: 0% chances of getting straight hair
So, yes, it is possible.
What else can I help you with?
What is the genotype of a person with curly hair?
Cc
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.
If curly hair (C) is a dominant trait what are the genotypes of the parents in the pedigree?
In a pedigree where curly hair (C) is a dominant trait, the genotypes of the parents can vary. If at least one parent has curly hair, their genotype could be either CC (homozygous dominant) or Cc (heterozygous). If both parents have straight hair (which is the recessive trait), their genotype must be cc. To determine the specific genotypes of the parents more accurately, you would need to analyze the phenotypes of their offspring in the pedigree.

What is the genotype of a person with curly hair?
Cc
If a woman heterozygous for hair curl marries a man with straight hair and they have four children?
it depends on the husbands genotype, if it is a recessive gene (bb) then there is a 50 50 chance of either straight or curly hair. if the husbands straight hair is a heterozygous gene, then there is a 70% chance for either straight or curly hair.
What is the man's genotype?
The man's genotype is CcFf. The woman's genotype is CcFf. These genotypes only apply if curly hair is dominant to straight hair. Freckles is dominant to no freckles. Also if a man who is heterozygous for both curly hair and freckles who then marries a woman with the same genotype.

straight although she does wear it curly alot its straight naturally = ]
If both husband and wife have curly hair genes can their child have straight hair?
As any geneticist will tell you: "It happens all the time". That said, the odds are good the child will have curly hair if both parents do.

My dad has curly hair my mom has straightwavy hair I have curly hair in the front wavy afterwards and straight in the back isn't you hair supposed one thing and not three?
well normal people have one way. and no im not saying your not normal but that's the only thing i could think of to say lol It's very common for people to have a variety of textures and wave/curl patterns on their head. It's perfectly normal! It might make it more challenging to achieve the perfect curls, but it's still possible! mine is the same. mum and dad have curly hair but mine is curly where it's short and dead straight where its long. so this makes my fringe really really curly, any layers i have mildly curly and long bits really straight. what i find works is having all my hair the same length ( either short or long, no matter) and then its all either straight or curly. or you can straighten the curly bits or curl the straight bits. its up to you. :) good luck
Is curly hair on a German shepherd dog normal?
No, the hair of the German Shepherd Dog is always harsh, thick and straight.
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.
