depends on the MAle and Female gender who has the certain traits

there is 100% chance that the child would be brunette unless the Mother had One Dom. Brunette Trait and a recessive Lighthair trait (Xx) there Would be a Fifty Percent chance for a RedHead Child if the mother was a Carrier.

(Xx)

(x)XX,XX

(y)Xy,xy <--- the (xy) there would be a Fifty percent chance if the mother was a carrier and the father was a redhead. All other Scenarios would lead to there being a Brunette hair colored child

....

It's been a while since I did Biology but I'll try to be useful too (hehe). If I remember right, red hair is a mutation. It's also recessive. Dark hair is dominant, but someone with dark hair can have any number of genotypes in them. Whereas someone with, lets just say blond hair for example, is seen, You can see that the phenotype is blond but because it's recessive, the only way it could have came to that is by both their parents having blonde hair, or mostly blond genes in both parents.

So if that's right, brunette is a strong gene and red is a mutation, the dark hair factor can even change the hair pigmentation in the offspring to blond. But that only usually happens when the brunette is the "chick". well anyway I hope yall found this useful. :)

Yes, there is no reason brunettes are unable to adopt a blonde child.

Yep, infact, you're probably more likely to have a blonde child than a redhead, is there any blonde in the family?

This is highly uncommon but not impossible. some children are a "throwback" to one of the grandparents.

If the father has blonde hair and the mother has red hair what color will the child's hair be?

Most likely it will be blonde because red is more recessive than Blonde. Followed by strawberry blonde, a hybrid of the two. Least likely it will be completely red. In rare cases red can be dominant to blonde.


What traits cover other traits?

Dominant traits cover recessive traits. For instance, if two people of the opposite gender with brown hair also have genes for red or blonde hair, then they have a 1:4 chance of producing a child with red/blonde hair. The odds are also 1:4 for producing a child with 2 genes for brown hair; so that child would never have children with red/blonde hair even if married to a redhead or blonde. Then there are 50% (2:4) odds of producing a dark-haired child who is a carrier for red/blonde hair.


If a child has blonde hair and both the parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blonde hair?

It tells you that even though the parents have brown hair, they have a recessive allele for blonde hair also. And even though brown is suppose to be visually dominant, it is not the case at all. Two brown heads can make a blonde or brown, and of course even red haired child. Another way to look at it may be the parents have the following alleles for hair color: (b,b) - (b,b) in which case the dominant allele is Blonde or Brown.


Why do blonde or black haired couples have red haired children?

If a grandparent or a great-grandparent of the child had red hair, then that gene could have skipped one or two generations and been passed on to the child.


Is it possible for two parents with brown hair to have an offspring with blonde hair?

If two blonde haired people have a child the child will be blonde as everybody has two hair genes (one from each parent) and you pass one of your genes to your child, to be blonde you have to have two blonde haired genes and as you can only pass blonde genes to your child they will certainly be blonde.Source(s):GCSE science lessons Hi I am sorry to rain on your party but i believe you are incorrect. The reason why is because you can carry a trait but if you are an owner of trait then you have that trait plus others. For example my aunt has blonde hair and her hubby has blonde hair that went to dirty blonde to brown naturally. However, they have a red-head. How is this possible? Doesn't heredity have rules? I am so confussed.

What do we get if we are Two blondes and blue eyes?

Probably a blonde and blue eyed child.


If a child has blonde hair and both of her parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blonde hair?

It means the freckle trait is recessive. For example, if the allel for freckles is 'f', then the parents must have 'Ff' and both sent a 'f' to the offspring.If one sent a 'F', then the child would have freckles.OMG, gotta tell my science teacher about that, cuz we're learning about traits now and I'm shocked that I knew that!


Why are red heads bullied?

Red heads are rare because they have two copies of the recessive gene on Chromosome 16, which causes a mutant in the MC1R protein. Scientists estimate the original red heads were first bred into the world about 20,000 to 100,000 years ago, much less longer than someone of a different hair colour. It is rare because there were less of them to breed, and of course the outcome of a redhead child depended on the hair colour of the mother and father.


Can two red-haired parents have a brown-haired child?

no!! never The above answer is incorrect--the red-headed gene is recessive--just because brown hair is dominant does not mean that those brown-heads don't carry the gene mutation for red hair! Research on this question suggests that freckled skin on non-red-heads may be a sign that the recessive gene for red hair is present.


Can two blonde parents have a dark haired child?

Yes, if there was someone with dark hair further up the genetic line.


Can a strawberry blonde woman and a brunette man have red brown and blonde hair kids I have a red hair One of my little siblings have brown hair and the rest have blonde?

The genetics of hair colors are not yet completly established. At least two gene pairs control human hair color. Your mom probably has blonde (bb) and red (rr) genes. Giving her a bbrr genotype (what is in the genes). Your dad must carry red also since you have red hair . Red is recessive to the brown. His genotype is BbRr. There is more to it than this as this doesn't account for the shades of hair color we see. But yes, this is possible.
