Examine the pedigree. The allele for the presence of a widow’s peak is dominant. Therefore, we can tell from the chart that in the couple labeled 2:

• the male is heterozygous and the female is homozygous.
• the male is homozygous and the female is heterozygous.
• the male is homozygous and the female is homozygous.
• the male is heterozygous and the female is heterozygous.
