A widow's peak is a V-shaped area of the hairline in the center of the forehead. The allele for having a widow's peak is dominant to the allele for not having a widow's peak.If two parents do not have widow's peaks, what is the probability that their child will have a widow's peak?(1 point)Responses75%75%50%50%25%25%0
If both parents do not have widow's peaks, it means that they are both homozygous recessive (ww) for this trait. Since the allele for having a widow's peak is dominant (W), the only way for the child to have a widow's peak is if they inherit at least one dominant allele.
When both parents are homozygous recessive (ww), all of their offspring will inherit the recessive allele. Therefore, the probability that their child will have a widow's peak is 0% (as they don't carry the dominant allele for this trait).
Therefore, the correct response is:
E. 0%
When both parents are homozygous recessive (ww), all of their offspring will inherit the recessive allele. Therefore, the probability that their child will have a widow's peak is 0% (as they don't carry the dominant allele for this trait).
Therefore, the correct response is:
E. 0%

The correct response is:
C. asexual
Asexual reproduction tends to occur very rapidly as it involves the production of offspring from a single parent without the need for the fusion of gametes.
