Solution

This is an example of incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is when a heterozygous phenotype is somewhere between the two homozygous phenotypes. In this case, neither the curly hair (from the mother) nor the straight hair (from the father) traits are completely dominant, resulting in a child with wavy hair.
