No it is all due to the gene pool from your mother and father. Otherwise it is not a mutation.

Dark hair parents light hair child how is this possible?

Everyone has at least two genes for hair color, but brown is dominant. If both parents have Brown-Blond genes, then they will have brown hair (because it is dominant over blond), but the child could get one blond gene from each parent and thus be Blond-Blond, and thus be blond.


Is a dirty blond closer to brown hair or to it's origin of blond hair?

It depends whether it is a sandy dirty blond or more of a caramel dirty blond . A sandy color would be more like blond, but caramel would be brown.

Are genes expressed all the time?

No you may have a recessive gene being covered up by a dominant gene say you have brown hair your kids may have blond hair if your ancestors passed along blond and brown hair.


Your hair as a child blonde now mousy with dark blue eyes husband as child red hair now sandy brown with blue eyes what colour hair will baby have?

The child could have almost any hair color. It all depends on the past history of the family. Hair color is determined by 2 polygenes. One that is Blonde or Brown. The other is Red or not red. The father has a brown allele present, which is dominant to blond. Blond and red are both recessive hair colors, so the likelihood of the child having either is lower to begin with. Because of the father's brown allele there's a 50% chance of the child having darker hair, and depending on the allele that the mother possesses, there's either a 50% or a 0% chance of the child having red hair. So there could be a 50% chance of the child being blond, a 50% chance of the child being dark haired, and depending on the mother's allele a 50% chance of being a darker red haired individual. Hopefully you can make sense of that.
