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. . .

It all depends on the genes each parent carries. If the both carry the "redhead" gene the baby will be a redhead. Without looking at each ones genetics it will be hard to say but your doctor should be able to say.

ginger, as ginger people only have ginger genes, if they had a single brown gene, they would be brunettes.

It's not guaranteed, but it is indeed probable.

It will probably have blonde hair when it's born but when it grows up it will most likely have brown hair

What eye color will a baby have if bother parents have blue?

There is a high probably that the child would inherit blue eyes. But if the parents are also carries of other eye colour genes. They could inherit a different eye colour if both parents carry the same other colour gene.


Can two green eyed parents have a green eyed child?

Two brown eyed parents can make a green eyed baby. Its all to do with genetics. It depends if both parents have a heterozygous gene for brown eye colour it is possible. Lets use Br for brown and G for green. A Homozygous brown gene would hypothetically look like this Br/Br A heterozygous brown gene would hypothetically look like this Br/G Homozygous basically means that there are 2 of the same genes coupled together (hence Br/Br) Heterozygous means 2 different genes that are coupled together (hence Br/G) If both parents have a homozygous gene for brown eye colour, their baby would have a 100% chance of having a brown eye colour. If both parents have a heterozygous gene for brown eye colour then there is a 25% chance that the baby will have green eyes and a 75% chance that the baby will have brown eyes. If one parent has a heterozygous brown gene and one has a homozygous brown gene then the baby will have a 100% chance of having brown eyes. There is also such as thing as "Designer Babies" where they fertilize an egg outside of the womb and genetically alter the DNA, so that you can change the hair colour eye colour etc.


If the mom is gray and if the male is brown then does that mean that if there was a baby that was gray does that mean it is a girl and if the baby is brown then does that mean the baby will be a boy?

No, it does not. Your parents pass on 50% of your DNA each through the chromosomes in the sex cells (egg and sperm). Depending on which gene is the more dominant, either the 'Grey Eye Gene' or the 'Brown Eye Gene' will determine the ultimate eye colour of the baby (majority of babies eye colour changes after a couple of weeks). The gender of the baby depends on whether both parents have passed on an 'X' chromosome, or whether one (believed to be the father) has passed on a 'Y' Chromosome. It is not related to the same gene that causes eye colour. My sister and I have Blue Eyes, inherited from my father as his gene was more dominant in that area in the DNA passed to us. My brother, from the same two parents, has Brown Eyes inherited from my mother, who in that instance had the more dominant gene.


If both parents have light brown eyes what colour eyes will the baby have?

My husband and I both have dark brown eyes. There are eyes of blue, green, hazel and brown on both our sides of the family. Our firstborn has blue eyes. Our second born has dark brown eyes. Our third and last born has hazel eyes.


What color hair and eyes will your baby have the mother has blonde hair and blue eyes and the father has brown hair and green eyes?

This link should give you an idea about the eye colour: http://museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyecalculator.html In order for the child to have red hair it needs to inherit the 'ginger gene' from both parents. We inherit two hair colour genes, one from our mother the other from our father. But because the ginger gene is recessive, you need two ginger genes to meet in the same person in order to show. If it doesn't have two ginger genes and instead a ginger and a brown gene the hair with show up brown because the brown is dominant over the ginger. The father obviously has both ginger genes, so will definitely pass on one ginger gene, the mother could also have one, but having definitely got a brown hair gene, the brown is dominant so you wouldn't know if she had a recessive ginger gene. The best thing to do is see if there are any red heads in the rest of the family, amongst the grandparents or even great grandparents on the mothers side, although it could have remained present and passed down, it would not show unless it meets with another ginger gene (like in the case of the father, his parent both had one). So basically it could have either brown or red. The general consensus is that the colouring of the child should be no darker than the darkest parent, so it is very unlikely you would get a child with black hair and brown eyes.

Does ginger only skipp one generation?

it doesn't matter how many generations there are, it depends on the parents backgrounds, ginger hair is a mutation on the DNA that can be totally random. even if both the parents have ginger hair, there's still a good chance the kid isn't ginger.

What is the chance of two white people having a black baby?

it depends on whether the parents have a black parents to have a black baby both parents must have a black parent to posses the gene to create the black baby, even so, if both parents are white it means that the "black" gene is recessive (doesn't affect there skin colour but still carry the gene), when both parents have this recessive gene it means that there a 1/4 chance of the baby being black I'm not sure if this is the exact chance but in theory it should lie around 1/4

How do gingers become gingers?

They were born that way. Its due to genetics but in many cases it is due to the chromosones that both natural parents have combining together to make the hair colour. But although gingers are branded as lower and in other ways bullied, for example being called a mutant or being named as a a reletive of the devil this is not the case and the ginger race is purely down to biology. But the ginger cell can skip generations for example grandparents can be ginger , parents are then not but children are ginger this is not uncommon in different situations but ... if you are the only ginger in your family you should seriuosly consider whether you are adopted or not .

If my husband eyes are green and my eyes are brown what color would be my baby eye color?

Brown eyes are always more predominant. My son has brown eyes like myself. His fathers eyes were blue. Baby's eyes are always blue until they are about 6 months old, then they begin to change to their 'real' colour. The colour of your baby's eyes will depend on whether one of your parents has eye colour other than brown, in which case your baby might have non-brown eyes (50:50 chance). If both your parents had brown eyes, then you can *only* pass on brown genes, which (as above said) are predominant, and therefore your babies can (usually) only have brown eyes. Hope this is understandable.


Should a baby sleep in the parents room?

There is nothing wrong with a baby being in its parents' room. It gives a good bonding time for both parents and the child. It is also an arrangement of security as the parents can listen for anything unusual with the baby.
