In humans, Tongue roller and widows peak are dominant over non-tongue roller and straight hairline. A heterozygote in both regards (for both tongue roller and hairline) reproduces with a similar heterozygote (they have the same genotype as the other parent).  What is the chance of any one child having the same phenotypes as the parents?  (You will need to do the cross and count up the offspring phenotypes and give a percentage such as 8/16 = 50%)
