In a pedigree, which shape represents a male?
circle
square
Which gender has an X and a Y chromosome?
male
female
On this pedigree, the allele for curly hair is dominant. The couple labeled 2 both have curly hair, but have a daughter who does not have curly hair. Therefore, we can tell from the chart that for the couple labeled 2 -
the male is heterozygous and the female is heterozygous.
the male is homozygous recessive and the female is homozygous dominant.
