    Ss * Ss = SS, Ss, Ss, ss, = 3/4 are short stature and 1/4 are normal stature; Cc * cc = Cc, Cc, cc, cc = 1/2 are curly hair and 1/2 are straight hair; Dd * Dd = DD, Dd, Dd, dd = 3/4 are normal hearing, 1/2 are deaf.

    Explanation:

    1. As given

    C = curly hear, C is dominant over c;

    D = normal hearing, D is dominant over d;

    S = short stature, S is dominant n;

    2. As given, by the parents of man and women, the genotype of man is SsCcDd (short stature, curly hear, and normal hearing). Genotype of woman is SsccDd (short stature, straight hari and normal hearing.

    3. Cross between both parents; SsCcDd and SsccDd

    4. Progeny are; as

    Ss * Ss = SS, Ss, Ss, ss, = 3/4 are short stature and 1/4 are normal stature;

    Cc * cc = Cc, Cc, cc, cc = 1/2 are curly hair and 1/2 are straight hair;

    Dd * Dd = DD, Dd, Dd, dd = 3/4 are normal hearing, 1/2 are deaf.

    5. So, we can calculate;

    3/4 * 1/2 * 3/4 = 9/32 are short stature, curly hair and normal hearing.

    3/4 * 1/2 * 3/4 = 9/32 are short stature, straight hair and normal hearing.

    3/4 * 1/2 * 1/2=3/16 are short stature, curly hair and deaf.

    3/4 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 3/16 are short stature, straight hair and deaf.

    1/4 * 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/32 are normal stature, curly hair and normal hearing.

    1/4 * 1/2 * 3/4=3/32 are normal stature, straight hair and normal hearing.

    1/4 * 1/2 * 1/2=1/16 are normal stature, curly hair and deaf.

    1/4 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/16 are normal stature, straight hair and deaf.
