Could two people.....?

Question

Could two people with widow's peak have a child with a straight hairline? Could two people with straight hairlines have a child with a widow's peak? Explain.

Answer 1

Widows peak is a dominant trait. So if you have two people who are heterozygous for widows peak meaning they carry one gene for widows peak and one gene for straight hairline (but they both show widows peak) Ww x Ww. then it's possible to have both types of hairlines in their kids. But I do not think its possible for two people with straight hair lines to have a child with widow peak because it would be ww x ww. Where only the lowercase 'w' is available. (the W=widows peak; w= straight hairline)

Answer 2

Yes, all is possible. It depends on the genes that you and your partner contribute to your child. Some traits are very strong and almost always show up (dominant) and other traits rarely show up (recessive). Two brown-eyed people have kids and most of their kids will probably have brown eyes. A few will have blue eyes. The blue eyes are a recessive trait. Straight hair and wavy hair are another example.

A widow's peak might be a recessive trait in your family. Does the child look like BOTH parents? If so, it is probably a recessive trait.

Answer 3

anythings possible depending on the genes in the family whichever has the more dominant gene in the family.

Answer 4

yes and yes. it's all up to genetics. i have seen families where they all have blue eyes and the very last child has brown. you never know what you are going to get.

Answer 5

yes. if they get the recessive gene and not the dominate one.

Answer 6

Anything is possible the family dreams big LOL

Answer 7

yes you have the granpas , grandmas, uncles, aunties, cousins genes

Answer 8

my girl has really curly black hair and so do I and the baby was born with strait blond hair
