How does dying your hair influence the genes for hair color?

Dyeing your hair does not influence the genes for hair color. The color of your hair is determined by your genetics, specifically the combination of genes inherited from your parents. Dyeing your hair only changes the external appearance of the hair and does not alter the underlying genetic code.


What determines whether a person will have dominant or recessive hair color?

Hair color is determined by genes inherited from parents. Dominant genes for hair color will be expressed over recessive genes, resulting in the dominant color being displayed. If both parents pass on recessive genes, the recessive color will be seen.


What factors determine the hair color dominance in genetic inheritance?

Hair color dominance in genetic inheritance is determined by a combination of genetic factors, including the presence of dominant and recessive genes. Dominant genes typically have a stronger influence on hair color than recessive genes. Additionally, the interaction between different genes and alleles can also play a role in determining hair color dominance.


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


How many genes do chromosomes have?

Chromosomes contain thousands of genes. The exact number of genes on a chromosome can vary depending on the species. For example, humans have approximately 20,000-25,000 genes distributed among their 23 pairs of chromosomes.

What are genes on?

Each and every person has the same set of genes - about 20,000 in all. The differences between people come from slight variations in these genes. For example, a person with red hair doesn't have the "red hair gene" while a person with brown hair has the "brown hair gene." Instead, all people have genes for hair color, and different versions of these genes dictate whether someone will be a redhead or a brunette.

What is genotypephenotype?

Genotype is the genes you have inherited for a certain condition (say you have two recessive genes for cystic fibrosis) and phenotype is the result of genotype and environmental factors added together (you will develop cystic fibrosis). ---- Penotype is the actual genes that you inherit from your parents. Phenotype is the genes that are actually expressed in your body. For instance, you may inherit genes for both red hair and blond hair from your parents, but you will only have one hair color. Both redhead and blond genes are part of your genotype, but only the genes for the hair color you actually have are part of your phenotype.
