If you have red hair and your husband has dark brown hair your two brothers and grandmother have red hair his family has no redheads what is the chance you will have a red head kid?

Dark hair is the dominant gene over red hair. Your mom obviously had one recessive allele for red hair and the dominant allele for dark hair so she showed up with dark hair. Your father would have to have had two recessive genes for red hair which means you have one dominant and one recessive allele. If your partner carries the recessive allele for red hair, (it didn't show up,) there is a 25% chance that your child will have red hair and a 75% chance that your child will have dark hair. If your partner has two dominant alleles for dark hair your child will have dark hair. If your partner has the recessive allele for another color like blond, there is a 75% chance for dark hair and a 25% chance for a mix of red and the other color. (Maybe strawberry blond.)


How does an Allele help explain why you all look different?

It will get taller but you also can tell by how small it was before and how big it is now.


When gregor mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant the f1 plants inherited which allele copies?

one allele from each parentThe F1 generation inherited one dominant (tall) allele from the tall parent and a recessive (short) allele from the short parent. The F1 generation were heterozygous and tall.


How come in Japanese anime they give there characters different colored hair and eyes when they have black hair and brown eyes?

to tell what character and personality is which.


My Girlfriend has black hair and I have fair hair what will our baby's hair be?

It depends on genetics, meaning that it would be difficult to tell you the answer without doing detailed genetic work. It depends on both of your genetics, meaning not only your hair color but your families hair color as well.

A brown horse gives birth to a white foal The sire of the foal was also brown What does this tell you about the allele for white hair in horses?

There are a few possible explanations for how this can happen. The first would be that the allele for white color is recessive and both parents are carriers. The second is that the foal is the product of a single point, dominant mutation resulting in white coat color. These are the least likely explanations. Since there is no mention in this question of whether the parents have any white markings: The most likely reason for this result is that both parents carry the Sabino allele (Sb) and that the foal received the Sb allele from both parents which resulted in a foal with the maximum expression of the trait resulting in a virtually white foal. Finally there is also the possibility that both the parents carry the OLW allele that they passed to the foal which would result in a white foal that died shortly after birth due to associated defects of the intestinal tract.


What does it mean when you have white stuff on your hair?

It's not white stuff! I am sorry to tell you but you have gray hair


If a child has blond hair and both of her parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blond hair?

Both of the parents were heterozygous with the blonde hair allele, which is recessive. When there are two parents that are heterozygous, there is a 25% chance their offspring will get two of the recessive alleles. A punnett square can be useful when determining the different phenotypes and genotypes possible in offspring


If a child has blonde hair and both the parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blonde hair?

It tells you that even though the parents have brown hair, they have a recessive allele for blonde hair also. And even though brown is suppose to be visually dominant, it is not the case at all. Two brown heads can make a blonde or brown, and of course even red haired child. Another way to look at it may be the parents have the following alleles for hair color: (b,b) - (b,b) in which case the dominant allele is Blonde or Brown.


How can you tell if the hair color is old?

on the color if the color is white or gray or a natural color


If a child has blonde hair and both of her parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blonde hair?

It means the freckle trait is recessive. For example, if the allel for freckles is 'f', then the parents must have 'Ff' and both sent a 'f' to the offspring.If one sent a 'F', then the child would have freckles.OMG, gotta tell my science teacher about that, cuz we're learning about traits now and I'm shocked that I knew that!
