Question
in incomplete dominance, if a person with straight hair (ss) and a person with curly hair (cc) have children, what hair texture will their children most likely have?
the texture will vary based on environment.
curly
wavy
straight
In incomplete dominance, neither allele is fully dominant over the other. When a straight - haired individual (SS) and a curly - haired individual (CC) have offspring, the offspring will have the genotype SC. Since there is incomplete dominance, the phenotype will be an intermediate between straight and curly, which is wavy hair. The option about environmental variation is incorrect as hair texture in this case is mainly determined by genetics in this inheritance pattern, and the offspring won't show just the curly or straight phenotype as that would be the case for complete dominance.
