In humans, an individual who has wavy hair is a heterozygote with one curly hair allele and one straight hair allele. Indicate the phenotypic and genotypic ratios expected for the offspring from a straight-haired man and a wavy-haired woman.

Final Answer : Straight and curly hair are incompletely dominant variations. The man's genotype would be H1H1 and the woman's genotype would be H1H2. This would produce a phenotypic ratio of 50% straight hair and 50% wavy hair. The genotypic ratio would be 50% H1H1 and 50% H1H2.
