![Explanation of the trait
● Curly hair is an example of intermediate
inheritance which means that the phenotype of
the heterozygous F1 generation is an
intermediate trait ( wavy hair) between the 2
homozygous progenitors [with straight(aa) and
curly(AA) hair].
● Curly (AA) X Straight (aa) Wavy hair (Aa)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/curlyhairjra-150414080824-conversion-gate01/85/Curly-hair-jra-2-320.jpg)

The document describes a family tree about curly hair inheritance. Curly hair is an example of intermediate inheritance, where the phenotype of the first generation with both straight and curly hair traits (heterozygous) is wavy hair, intermediate between the straight-haired and curly-haired parents. The family tree shows a curly-haired parent with a straight-haired parent producing offspring that are either wavy-haired or straight/curly-haired in a 3:1 ratio, following Mendelian genetics.
