As attached, is a pedigree related question. I have a question, is it correct that individual I 1 's phenotype is Ff (heterozygous)  whereas individual I 2 is ff (recessive homozygous)?

That would mean that the ratio of Widow's Peak: Straight hair(no widow's peak) would be 1:1 ? So the chances of getting a Widow's Peak is 50% ?

Is this correct? Am I doing it right.

 

1. Widow's peak is a dominant inherited trait which result in a y-shaped point in the
hairline in the gcenter of the forehead. In Figure 3., the pedigree below, the shaded
areas represent widow's peak individuals.
