To have blond hair do both of your genes have to be for blond hair?

not necessarily.ok there are two parents each giving the child one gene. if one gene is recessive and one is dominant the dominant gene will decide the hair color. example the recessive gene is black hair and the dominant gene is blonde the child will most likely have blonde hair because the dominant gene is blonde hair. the dominant gene masks the recessive gene


What does a recessive trait for blonde hair and a recessive trait for red hair make?

This may cause a lighter red or a darker blonde. actually that isn't true. it depends on which one is the dominant trait. which one is homozygous which one is heterozygous. it all depends.


Is blonde hair recessive or dominant?

Recessive gene of X chromosome. more common in men as they have only one x chromosome but in female there are 2 X chromosome. If one of X chromosome in female has this recessive gene, they become a carrier. If both the X chromosome in female has this gene, they show baldness


What color eyes and hair will a baby most likely have if the father has blonde hair blue eyes and the mother has brown hair green eyes?

The Baby will almost definitely have brown hair and brown eyes. If the father has a blonde haired gene or blue eyed gene (if one of his parents or grand parents had blonde hair and blue eyes) there is a possibility the baby will have blonde hair and blue eyes (one in four chance).


Can a child have blonde hair if the mother father both have brown hair?

It depends on whether or not blond hair is a dominant gene or a recessive gene. For example: B= brown, b= blonde (in this case brown is dominant). You may have BB or Bb and your partner BB or Bb if one of you is heterozygous (BB) then no you can't but if both of you are homozygous dominant then yes there is a 25% chance of a blonde child. In this case both parents could be brown haired and the child blond.

If the father has blonde hair and the mother has red hair what color will the child's hair be?

Most likely it will be blonde because red is more recessive than Blonde. Followed by strawberry blonde, a hybrid of the two. Least likely it will be completely red. In rare cases red can be dominant to blonde.

blue eyes blonde hair etc.. brown eyes and brown hair are dominant


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.


Why did Hitler kill everyone that he didn't think were perfect?
