Parent 2: Ww, heterozygous widow's peak hairline
Keys: Ww, ww
Punnet square
I uploaded a file check it
Genotypic ratio:
Ww:ww
Penotypic ratio:
widow's peak hairline:straight hairline
answer: Will there be a chance to produce an offspring with a widow's peak hairline if the woman he will marry has a heterozygous widow's peak hairline?
