Best Answer

It's very hard to answer this question as there are no details on what alleles the fathers or mothers DNA contains. The father has to have an allele for red hair for the child to have a chance of having it.

Presuming that the father has a brown and red hair allele and the mother has the same it works out like this.

Brown + Brown = Brown

Brown + Red = Brown (Because it's dominant)

Brown + Red (from other parents) = Brown (Because brown is dominant)

Red + Red = Red

The chances of brown therefore is 3:1 as you cannot be sure on what the child will receive.

How can a child have a disorder when the father does not?

It depends on the disorder, but if the child has it and the father doresn't, it most likely means that the disorder was dominant and not recessive. Therefore, the mother would have had to at least have some history of having the disorder.
