Can a parent with brown hair and a parent with ginger hair have a ginger hair child?
Yes, a parent with brown hair and a parent with ginger hair can have a ginger-haired child. Hair color is determined by multiple genes, and the ginger hair color is often recessive. If the brown-haired parent carries a recessive gene for ginger hair, there's a possibility that their child could inherit that gene from both parents and have ginger hair.
How are genes relatd to DNA?
a gene is an area on a pair of chromosomes which code for a specific characteristic of DNA. For example if you have the gene for ginger hair on your chromosomes in your DNA you will be born with ginger hair
Where does ginger hair come from?
Same place as all other coloured hair. DNA.
What would the baby look like if the father had dark brown hair and the mother had ginger hair?
Ginger or red hair is a recessive gene, the most rare hair color in fact - meaning if its combined with any other gene brunette/black (even blonde) it won't show up (phenotype) Unless the father has a recessive (hidden) ginger gene as well, then the chances would be 50%.
How can a person have ginger hair when there mum or dad haven't got ginger hair?
hair colour can be inherited from grandparents, great grandparents etc, not just from parents, so its very likely that a grandparent had red hair - of course no one may remember what the colour was many many years ago!
Female has dark brown hair and male has ginger will baby be ginger?
Most likely, no, the baby will not be a ginger because the "ginger gene" is recessive and non-dominant which means that it skips generations and then might not even show because say, brown hair, in a dominant gene. I am sorry to say that no, the baby will not be a ginger. (in 150 yrs. they will be extinct you know) Signed, Crazy Ginger Girl :D
The melancortin 1 receptor or MC1R is found on the 16th of the 23 human chromosome pairs Called the ginger gene what does it give you?
The MC1R gene, also known as the "ginger gene," is responsible for producing a protein that plays a role in determining hair color. Variants of the MC1R gene can lead to red hair, fair skin, and increased sensitivity to sunlight.
What if your boyfriend has ginger hair and so has his mum and dad you have dark brown hair what is the chances of having ginger babies?
zero, I am afraid, lest you have the red hair gene yourself:( You may have as it can "skip a generation" (or more..). Red is recessive and brown dominant, so you could have both a red gene and a brown gene without having as much as a red tint in your hair:)
What colour hair will your baby be if both parents have ginger hair?
Gimger hair is becoming more of an unlikely hair colour, and it has been said that in around 50 years, it will be'extinct'. Hair colour is decided by your genes, but rather than looking at just the colour of the hair, you would need to look at the genes that each parent has. As the father is blonde, he will have two blonde hair genes, which are recessive. The mother has ginger hair, and therefore has one ginger hair gene, which is also recessive, along with another gene which could either be blonde, black, or brown. If you think about it as a chart like this, it becomes much more simplistic. . . . The b stands for blonde, the g for ginger, and the O for other. .other is used as we are not aware of the other gene that the mother has. The O, or other, is shown as a dominant gene. b b g bg bg O bO bO From this chart, it shows there is a 25% chance of being ginger, and a 25% chance of being blonde. Then a 50% chance of being other, which could also turn out to be blonde. The child is therefore more likely to have blonde hair. . .
Why is ginger the only hair colour to skip generations?
Becasue red hair is caused by a recessive relatively rare gene.
What are the odds of having a ginger baby?
The odds of having a ginger baby largely depend on the genetic background of the parents. Red hair is a recessive trait, meaning both parents must carry the gene for a child to have red hair. If both parents have the ginger gene, the likelihood of having a ginger baby can be around 25%. If only one parent carries the gene, the chances are significantly lower, around 6.25%.
You have brown skin and the father has ginger hair will your baby have ginger hair?
Possibly, since the gene for red hair is recessive it can be passed down if both parents carry the gene. So, depending on the genetic combination inherited by the baby, they may have a chance of having ginger hair.
