Looking at the image of Amanda's chromosomes, is her hair texture rough or smooth?

a)

rough

b)

smooth

12.

Look at the image of Amanda's chromosomes. The dotted chromosome came from her mom. The solid chromosome came from her dad. Does Amanda's mom have rough hair?

a)

yes, because she has at least one dominant allele
