What else can I help you with?
You have twin girls with red hair and hazel green eyes your husband has dark brown hair and eyes and you have light brown hair and hazel eyes Red hair is not common in either family Identical?
The gene that gives a person red hair is a ressesive gene, When a child is created, they take a gene both from their mother and from their father in order to make a pair to give them their hair colour. Certain genes are reccessive and certain genes are dominant, Usually, darker hair genes such as brown are dominant, Lighter hair genes such as red are reccessive So if a child receives a dark haired gene like brown from one parent and a lighter haired gene like red from the other parent, the child will have dark hair, as the dominant gene will dominate the hair colour. So, both the mother and the father must have had a reccessive red hair gene, Which the child was given when it was created.
What are the genetic factors that determine the inheritance of red hair color?
The inheritance of red hair color is determined by a specific gene called MC1R. This gene controls the production of a pigment called pheomelanin, which gives hair its red color. Variations in the MC1R gene can result in different shades of red hair, and inheriting two copies of the gene from both parents is necessary to have red hair.
What is it called when a ressesive and dominat gene mix?
When a recessive and dominant gene mix, the dominant gene will typically determine the trait expressed in the offspring. This is known as dominant inheritance, where the dominant gene masks the presence of the recessive gene in determining the phenotype.
What is a recessave trait?
A trait that can be overridden by another trait. For example, red hair is a recessive trait. If you have one gene for red hair, and one gene for any other color of hair, you will not have red hair. Your hair will be the color determined by the other gene. Therefore, you could have several generations without that trait showing up, until two parents, each with one gene for that trait have a chile, the child will have a 1 in 4 chance of having that trait. if parent 1 has 1 gene for red hair (we'll call it R) and one for blond hair (we'll call it B, and the other parent has 1 R and one gene for black hair (we'll call it Bl). there are 4 possibilities for what a child will have for hair color. B, Bl (Black hair with recessive blond); B, R (Blond hair with recessive red); R, Bl (Black hair with recessive red); R, R (Red hair)
The melancortin 1 receptor or MC1R is found on the 16th of the 23 human chromosome pairs Called the ginger gene what does it give you?
The MC1R gene, also known as the "ginger gene," is responsible for producing a protein that plays a role in determining hair color. Variants of the MC1R gene can lead to red hair, fair skin, and increased sensitivity to sunlight.
If black hair is dominiant why blonde hair still exist?
Ressesive genes my friend. Two ressesives make blonde, while you can still get black while have a dominat and a ressesive. Therefore the gene is still carried on from the random selection of DNA during mitosis in the egg or sperm cell.
The gene for red hair is recessive to the gene for black hair. What will be the hair colour of a child if he inherits a gene for red colour from his mother and a gene for black hair from his father Ex?
The child will have black hair because the gene for black hair is dominant over the gene for red hair. Since the child inherits one gene for red hair from the mother (recessive) and one gene for black hair from the father (dominant), the dominant black hair gene will express itself. Therefore, the child's hair color will be black.
What type of gene produce a miniature breed of a dog?
ressesive

Your sister thinks the red hair gene is passed on only by the male is this true?
No, the gene for red hair can be inherited from both parents, as it is a recessive trait. If both parents carry the gene for red hair, there is a possibility that their children can inherit red hair regardless of gender.
Does the red hair color have to be in the father side for the child to have red hair if the mothers side has that hair gene color?
You've basically answered your own question here. No, the red hair gene needn't be on the fathers side, since the mother already has it. The chances become greater if dad has that gene for the child to have red hair, but if the mothers side has the gene, then there is a 1/4 chance it will have red. If dad has it, then more than likely the child will have red hair.
Is it possible for your whole family to be tall and your short?
Yes, because you may have a ressesive gene
Can a person have bright orange-red hair if they received only one gene for red hair from one parent?
Yes they can, red is often dominant over other hair colors. This isn't right. Red hair is a recessive gene (the most recessive hair color) and you must have two copies of it, one from each parent, in order for one to have red hair. The gene is related to MC1R on chromosome-16. Only about 2% of the population has red hair because it is so recessive and both parents must have this gene.
If Patrick has red hair and his parents have brown hair Patrick's trait must be?
one of his parents must have the red-hair allele, but they both have brown hair so they are both hetereozygous with the dominant brown allele. Patrick's red hair is homozygous recessive
What if your boyfriend has ginger hair and so has his mum and dad you have dark brown hair what is the chances of having ginger babies?
zero, I am afraid, lest you have the red hair gene yourself:( You may have as it can "skip a generation" (or more..). Red is recessive and brown dominant, so you could have both a red gene and a brown gene without having as much as a red tint in your hair:)
How can parents with brown hair have a red haired child?
Yes. One or both parents have a gene for red hair therefore the child could have red hair.
