Heterozygous means that each parent has a dominant gene and a recessive gene. Using C as dominant for wavy hair and c for recessive meaning it will be curly, there is. 25 that have CC,.25 that have cc, and. 50 that have Cc.

There is a 25% chance that parents who are heterozygous for wavy hair will have a child with curly hair.
