actually, they are not controlled by genes, but actually chromosomes. and they are NOT controlled by the same chromosome, unless you are an albino, in which case, a chromosome would take care of multiple genes.

What color hair is dominant?
black color in hair is a dominant trait. same goes for brown eyes. blonde hair a blue eyes color is the opposite.
What is a dominant genes?
A dominant gene or variant, refers to gene alleles ("variants") that "beat" other (recessive) genes. Meaning that if an individual has both a dominant and a recessive allele for a certain trait, the dominant allele will express itself "over" the recessive one, affecting the phenotype accordingly. A common example, while being a simplification of the actual complexities of the matter, is hair color. Brown hair is dominant over blond hair. A person with blond hair has both genes for that trait recessive, while a person with brown hair can have either both "brown hair color" genes or one "brown hair color" gene plus one "blond hair color" gene.
What is heterozygous?
Heterozygous refers to alleles that are not the same. For example, lets pretend that the gene for hair color is H for brown hair and h for blond hair. If someone was HH, they would be homozygous because the two alleles of the gene are the same. If a person was blond, their genes would have to be hh, which is homozygous recessive. Heterozygous is when the alleles are different, like so: Hh.
What are different versions of the same gene called?
The chromosomes in a pair carry the same genes in the same places. There are different versions of the same gene. These different versions of the same gene are called alleles.
What is a version of a gene that can cover or hide a different version of the same gene?
Dominant Gene
Is red hair a ressesive gene?
no if you have red hair then it is a dominant gene because you can see it. If you do not have red hair then you could have a recessive gene (same as anyone else :P)
What is dominance in genes?
Dominance in genetic terms is the tendency of one version of a gene to be expressed over another version of the same gene in the same organism. An example of this is hair on the fingers of humans, between the knuckle and the first finger joint. Having hair is dominant - if one of the two alleles in your genome says "grow hair", you will have hair on this portion of your skin. The only way you have no hair on this portion of your skin is for you to have two copies of the recessive gene (no hair).
Is there such thing as a thing to brush your teeth and hair at the same time?
:) it depends how mush cordination you have.
Is hair and nails the same?
What hair and nails have in common is that they grow. A hair and nails what they have in command is that they are the same as dogs.
What is the difference in teeth of frog and toad?
It's the same than the difference between the hair of a turtle and a snake.
What color hair is dominant?
black color in hair is a dominant trait. same goes for brown eyes. blonde hair a blue eyes color is the opposite.
If short hair (L) is dominant to long hair (I) ,animals with LL and Ll have the same?
LL and Ll will both express the dominant gene, in this case short hair. Only an animal with both recessive genes (ll) will have long hair.
Can a white mother and mixed father have a white and blond baby?
Yes, they can have a baby with blond hair if the mother has the gene that produces blonde hair (recessive) and also if the father has the same gene. It would be best if they both had blonde hair, but two people with brown hair can still have a blonde haired baby. It all depends on the genes that the parents received from their parents.

What are genes on?
Each and every person has the same set of genes - about 20,000 in all. The differences between people come from slight variations in these genes. For example, a person with red hair doesn't have the "red hair gene" while a person with brown hair has the "brown hair gene." Instead, all people have genes for hair color, and different versions of these genes dictate whether someone will be a redhead or a brunette.
What is heterozygous?
Heterozygous refers to alleles that are not the same. For example, lets pretend that the gene for hair color is H for brown hair and h for blond hair. If someone was HH, they would be homozygous because the two alleles of the gene are the same. If a person was blond, their genes would have to be hh, which is homozygous recessive.

Is there a chance that a son will have ear hair and his father will not?
yes, because the woman carries the baldness gene. The son would most likely have the same hair patterns as the mothers male family members
