no if you have red hair then it is a dominant gene because you can see it. If you do not have red hair then you could have a recessive gene (same as anyone else :P)

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 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)
Father has red hair blue eyes mother has brown hair brown eyes what will second child look like?
likely brown hair - in order for a red haired child both parents have to have the red hair gene & of course red hair.
If both parents have the red headed gene would they have a red headed baby?
It is possible. Red hair is the most recessive type of hair, followed by blond. It is very possible for two red-headed parents to have a blond haired child. It is even more likely if there are direct relatives that have blond hair, as that gene would usually come out over a red-haired gene. The child may also have red-ish blond hair as they get older, as the gene starts to maifest itself. (This often happens with skin color, folowed by hair color and eye color in children as they age.)
What does the ressesive allele mean?
It is the allele of a pair of alleles, the gene, that usually is not expressed, does not make protein product, or is overwhelmingly swamped by the dominant allele.

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.
What type of gene produce a miniature breed of a dog?
ressesive
Is it possible for your whole family to be tall and your short?
Yes, because you may have a ressesive gene
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.
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.

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.
Why is red hair is the rarest?
Red hair is rare because the trait is a recessive gene when paired up with other types of hair. In most cases both sides of the parents have to have that gene to even make it possible. Many people have the trait for red hair, but it takes 2 people with the trait to produce an offspring with red hair, making it twice as difficult. That is why red hair is not typical.
How do people receive red hair?
There is a gene in the parents DNA which gives them red hair, like how brunettes have their brown hair. Receiving red hair is like receiving any other hair color.
Father has red hair blue eyes mother has brown hair brown eyes what will second child look like?
likely brown hair - in order for a red haired child both parents have to have the red hair gene & of course red hair.
