The R (curl) Locus[note 1]
The alleles at the R locus (the keratin-71 gene or KRT71) determine whether an animal's coat is straight or curly.[5] There are two known alleles that occur at the R locus:
R = Straight
r = Curly
R is dominant to r |
Everything I've ever read about this says that curly hair is dominant.
