What will my child inherit?
- ●Coily is dominant: a child shows it whenever at least one parent passes on the gene.
- ●Straight is recessive: a child only shows it when both parents pass it on.
- ●Two Coily parents can still have a Straight child - if both quietly carry the Straight gene, it can surface.
