Not necessarily. you only need one parent with the red head gene fo it to be able to pass down.

∙ 15y agoThe only way this can happen is if both parents carry the red haired gene. This means that the parents' family both had to have a parent or grandparent with red hair.

Does 2 brown haired parents make a brunette child?
Not necessarily. If both parents have the recessive gene for red hair, the child may have red hair. Brunet parents could also have a blond child.
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.
Can biracial and Scandinavian decent have blue eyed and red haired and very fair complected child?
yes
Can two brown haired brown eyed people have a blond hair brown eyes baby?
It depends. If both parents are pure for brown hair then no. But if they have hidden genes (genes that are there but don't show themselves) It can be possible. However both of the parents will need to carry the hidden gene because if the baby gets one blonde haired gene and one brown haired gene then the baby will have brown hair because brown hair is dominant. But if the baby gets two blonde genes then they will have blonde hair. This can be highly unlikely because there is no way to tell which genes the baby will get but it's still possible. Even if a set of parents are brown haired, it is entirely possible for this child to have blonde hair in infancy. It is common for babies to be "born tow haired" and the hair gradually to darken througout his babyhood. It is one peculiarity of genetics concerning a dominate and a recessive gene concerning hair. The presence of blonde hair on a child can indicate that the color is temporary if both parents are brown haired. While the child might have an almost white hair color during infancy, in such cases as this, by puberty the child usually has the color of his parent's hair. This anomoly is also observed in children with "red" hair. There is a recessive gene which gives the child red hair in infancy, but the hair color fades to brown by puberty.
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.
Does 2 brown haired parents make a brunette child?
Not necessarily. If both parents have the recessive gene for red hair, the child may have red hair. Brunet parents could also have a blond child.
Can a Brown haired parent have a redheaded child?

How can parents with brown hair have a red haired child?
Yes. One or both parents have a gene for red hair therefore the child could have red hair.
Can parents with red and brown hair have a blond hair child?
Yes.
Can a blond and brown haired parent have red head child hair parent and?
because some one in the family had and and it recessive trait
If both parents have the red headed gene would they have a red headed baby?
It is possible. Red hair is the most recessive type of hair, followed by blond. It is very possible for two red-headed parents to have a blond haired child. It is even more likely if there are direct relatives that have blond hair, as that gene would usually come out over a red-haired gene. The child may also have red-ish blond hair as they get older, as the gene starts to maifest itself. (This often happens with skin color, folowed by hair color and eye color in children as they age.)
Suppose that brown hair color is dominant over red hair color in humans Which of the statements is true?
If brown hair is dominant over red hair, then a person who is heterozygous for brown hair will have a brown hair phenotype. Red-haired offspring with two brown-haired parents are fairly common.
Who was the red haired teacher in leagly blond?
I think it was holland taylor. she plays on two and a half men.
How does a blonde haired mother have a red haired daughter if the father has brown hair?
Simple genetics. Red hair is a recessive gene (one which both parents must carry) If the mothers hair is blond and the fathers is red, then both parties must have a red gene somewhere down the line. Also, children's hair color often changes as they grow older.
Was Kurt Cobain born with red hair or blonde hair?

Father has red hair blue eyes mother has brown hair brown eyes what will second child look like?
likely brown hair - in order for a red haired child both parents have to have the red hair gene & of course red hair.
What colour hair will the baby have if the father has fair hair and the mother has black hair?
The answer to this question depends on their parents' hair colors. If both have a blond (or red) haired parent, it is possible they could have children with blond (or red) hair. The black is more dominant than brown, so if the black haired parent has two black haired parents it is much more likely they will have black hair or the black has about 65% the brown has 35% so it will be a mix of black and brown probably black with a bit of brown i was learning about DNA
