Question

in your cross both of the parents have wavy hair and round faces. how is it possible that the child of this cross could have neither of these traits

Answer 1

If both parents have wavy hair and round faces, it would suggest that these traits are likely dominant. However, it's important to note that even if both parents exhibit these traits, they could still carry recessive genes for straight hair and angular faces. When they reproduce, the child has a 25% chance of inheriting two recessive alleles for each trait (e.g., ww and rr), resulting in neither wavy hair nor a round face.

Answer 2

When the parents' gametes combine during fertilization, there's a chance that the child could inherit the recessive genes for both traits (ww and rr). This would result in a child
