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.

The answer lies in genetics. In this case, the gene for black hair is a recessive trait, and blonde hair is a dominant trait. The blonde hair color is represented as the two capital I's, the dominant hair color. The black hair is represented by the two lower cased i's, the recessive hair color. When you match the letters up, you will get Ii in all cases. Even though the recessive trait is still in their DNA, it is not shown because the other trait is dominant. The recessive trait is still in their genes, so it could be passed onto their offspring.

The mother does not carry just the gene for her own hair color - she carries the gene for every hair color of every relative that preceded her. So does the father. A child may have the same hair color as their parents. Or they may not. And either way it is completely normal.

What color hair and eye will a baby have if the father has strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes and the mother has blonde hair and blue eyes?

It will have no eyes. So there! The child probably will have a lighter haircolour, and it can have both brown eyes and blue eyes,


What color hair will a child have if dad has brown hair with brown eyes and mom has blonde hair with blue eyes?

Um, you would not know unless you know if the hair gene is ressive or domiant in the mother of father. Um, you would not know unless you know if the hair gene is ressive or domiant in the mother of father. I have dark auburn hair and green eyes, does that help?


A child has brown hair and brown eyes His father has brown hair and blue eyes His mother has red hair and brown eyes The best explanation for the child having brown hair and brown eyes is that?

the child received genetic information from each parent.


What is population genetics?

if a man has blonde hair and both of his parents have black hair,he marries a woman with blonde hair,her father has blonde hair and her mother has black,they have a child that has blonde hair


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.

If the father's hair is black and the mother's hair is brown what would the child's hair color be?

depending on who's genes the child gets it could be black or brown. there have also been some cases where the child has gotten its grandmother's hair, which could be blonde. it could be anything, but it is most likely to be black or brown. there is no way of knowing.
