Usually a new born baby's hair is light blonde, or light brown. Never dark.

How can a sister with the same parents have different hair colors?
Yes, this is possible. The parents may not have the same hair color as their offspring, because the offspring could have the hair color caused by a recessive allele. This allele could have been present in an ancestor, but not shown up again because its frequency is not as common as another hair color
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.
Is color blind dominant or recessive?
recessive
If eyes color of mother is blue and eyes color of father is black how did the child get black color?
Black eye color is a recessive trait meaning that for someone to have it both the mother and father would have to pass off the gene for Black eyes. Since the dominant gene always prevails over the recessive and one of the parents had blue eyes, this means that the parent with black eyes had both recessive genes for black eyes and therefor passed on the recessive gene. The other parent with the Blue eyes must have both genes blue and black, but since blue is considered to be dominant over black the blue, they have blue eyes, but passed on the recessive black eye gene. B - Blue Eye Gene (Dominant) b - Black Eye Gene (recessive) Mother - Bb (Blue Eyes) Father - bb (Black Eyes) Child - bb (Black Eyes)

A black erminette chicken is crossed with a white erminette chicken what color are the offspring?
The offspring are black feathered because the black feather gene is dominant

Do you get your eye color from your parent?
Yes you get your eye color from your parent. The parent that carries one dominant gene and one recessive gene for a specific eye color and the other parent carries two recessive genes for a different eye color, you will get the eye color of the parent who carries the dominant and recessive gene. In other words, the dominant gene trumps the recessive gene. In another scenario, if both parents carry two recessive genes for a specific eye color, then you will inherit the recessive gene of that color.
What color will offspring be when red nor white is a dominant color?
There will be shared dominance and the offspring will be pink.
How can you tell whether a black guinea pig is homozygous or heterzygous when black fur is dominant over white fur?
You could try breeding it with a homozygous recessive partner (hh) Lets assume that you breed the original mystery rabbit with an hh recessive partner, and they have 10 offspring. If the original rabbit is homozygous dominant, it would be HH + hh, which would give all 10 the offspring Hh genotypes, which would give them the dominant hair color. If it was heterozygous dominant, it would be Hh + hh, which would lead to either Hh or hh offspring. This means that in theory, 5 would be dominant colored while the other 5 would not be.
In certain rats black fur is dominant over white fur If two rats both heterozygous for fur color are mated their offspring would be expected to have?
There different genotypes and two different colors Black fur is dominant --> F White fur is recessive --> f The parents are bot Ff (heterozygotes, and because black fur is dominant they have a black fur). If they mate, you get parents: Ff x Ff Offspring: FF Ff Ff ff so 25% will be homozygous for Black fur 2x25=50% will be heterozygous, and have a Black fur and 25% wil be homozygous for White fur. Hence, of their offspring, 75% will have a black fur and 25% will have a white fur
Compare and contrast dominant and recessive?
In genetics, each organism will typically have 2 alleles for each trait. For a trait such as hair color, you might have an allele for red hair from your dad and an allele for brown hair from your mom. The trait for brown hair happens to be dominant to the trait for red hair so you would show the allele for brown hair. (In other words, you would have brown hair.)
If one parent has the genotype Cc for hair color and the other parent has the genotype cc what percentage of the offspring will have the recessive genotype for hair color?
25% of the offspring will have the recessive genotype for hair colour.
