The child could have almost any hair color. It all depends on the past history of the family.

Hair color is determined by 2 polygenes. One that is Blonde or Brown. The other is Red or not red.

The father has a brown allele present, which is dominant to blond. Blond and red are both recessive hair colors, so the likelihood of the child having either is lower to begin with. Because of the father's brown allele there's a 50% chance of the child having darker hair, and depending on the allele that the mother possesses, there's either a 50% or a 0% chance of the child having red hair. So there could be a 50% chance of the child being blond, a 50% chance of the child being dark haired, and depending on the mother's allele a 50% chance of being a darker red haired individual. Hopefully you can make sense of that.

Boy had blond hair as a child but he now has dark brown with green eyes girl had brown hair but now has blonde with brown eyes what colour eyes and hair will the baby have?

== == I dont know The babys hair can be any color and their eyes can be any color it can change later on but the color also depends on the grandparents


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 eyes and hair will a child most likely have if the father of the child has brown hair brown eyes and the mother has red hair hazel eyes?

ok. go back to 5th grade. do you remember doing dna? like using rabbits and seeing what color the babies will be? the dominant color is most likely. your husband is dominant. it will most likely be brown eyes with a tint of hazel or just brown. it's hair will likely have brown hair with red highlights.


What color of hair will a child have with a parent who has brown hair and green eyes and a parent with blonde hair and blue eyes?

any color i know two people with blond hair that had a child with black hair one with brown hair and one with black hair any color i know two people with blond hair that had a child with black hair one with brown hair and one with black hair


If a child has blonde hair and both of her parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blonde hair?

It means the freckle trait is recessive. For example, if the allel for freckles is 'f', then the parents must have 'Ff' and both sent a 'f' to the offspring.If one sent a 'F', then the child would have freckles.OMG, gotta tell my science teacher about that, cuz we're learning about traits now and I'm shocked that I knew that!

Most likely baby`s hair will take on a strawberry blonde.


Can two people who have brown hair have a redhead?

Yes, of course they can. The redhead gene (or any other gene for that matter) can skip generations. Two people with naturally blonde hair can have a child with brown hair, you cant say what colour hair a child will have just based on what colour it's parents hair is alone.


I have blonde hair my boyfriend has brown hair what color will your babys hair be?

Blonde is a recessive gene and Brown is dominant. Therefore, your child's hair will have an extremely high probablity of being brown.


Is it possible for two parents with brown hair to have an offspring with blonde hair?

If two blonde haired people have a child the child will be blonde as everybody has two hair genes (one from each parent) and you pass one of your genes to your child, to be blonde you have to have two blonde haired genes and as you can only pass blonde genes to your child they will certainly be blonde.Source(s):GCSE science lessons Hi I am sorry to rain on your party but i believe you are incorrect. The reason why is because you can carry a trait but if you are an owner of trait then you have that trait plus others. For example my aunt has blonde hair and her hubby has blonde hair that went to dirty blonde to brown naturally. However, they have a red-head. How is this possible? Doesn't heredity have rules? I am so confussed.


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 doesn't Emma Watson's blonde hair get dyed brown for her role as Hermione?

Emma Watson's natural hair colour is dark brown, as per photographs of her as a child which picture her with dark brown hair. She has been dying her hair blonde for many years, since her involvement began in the Harry Potter films.


You have dark brown eyes and your husband has green eyes what colour eyes will your child have?

The genetics of eye color are more complex than previously thought. Almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur.


Is it possible for a black haired parent and a brown haired parent to have a child with blonde hair if all the grandparents of said child has either black brown or dark auburn hair?

You should be aware that the color of a child's hair can change as it grows up. When I was 7 my hair was silvery blond - by the age of 20 I was dark brown.On top of this the genetics for hair color are not simple (there is more than one gene involved). Look in the link I will place below. Yes, this is perfectly possible. Genes (sections of your DNA in each cell) determine, among other things, hair colour and are either 'recessive' or 'dominant''. the two different kinds of gene (dominant or recessive) are called alleles. The allele for brown or black hair is dominant over the blonde hair allele which means that when a child inherits a gene for hair colour from his parents then if one of the pair is a dominant gene - i.e. the 'brown hair gene' then that child will have brown hair whether or not they have a blonde hair gene as well. This means that it is more likely that a child has brown or black hair rather than blonde. Let's look at an example: 2 parents have 2 different allele Blonde/Brown (mother) and Blonde/Brown (father). They will therefore both have black or brown hair as they contain brown allele which mask the blonde allele in their chromosomes because the brown allele is dominant. Let's call the genes they have Bl(m) Br(m) Bl(f) Br(f) where Br=Brown, Bl = Blonde, m = mother and f = father. When they have a child then he will inherit one allele from his mother and one from his father. The possibilities of what he inherits are either 1. Bl(m) Bl(f) or 2. Bl(m) Br(f) or 3. Br(m) Bl(f) or 4. Br(m) Br(f) The only combination that produces a blonde child is the first one where both alleles are blonde. In the other three there exists a brown allele and, because brown alleles are dominant, the child will have brown hair irrespective of the fact that in two of the possibilities there is a blonde allele as well. Therefore there is only a one-in-four chance of parents with mixed genes having a blonde child, but it is still perfectly possible. Going back a generation to grandparents means that if all their grandparents had brown or black hair, then, again, the blonde allele could be lying dormant until the time when it is able to show up when it is matched with another blonde allele so that a brown allele cannot mask its effect. In my own family, my cousin's daughter has bright red hair (another recessive allele) although her parents and grandparents are brown haired. My father was red haired but I have brown. So to find the origin of the red-hair-allele we would have to look further back in out family history to find an ancestor of both my father and my cousin's parents. Asit happens our great great grandfather had red hair - and so he passed this on to the family, only to show up rarely in further generations where it was not masked by a more dominant allele like brown or black hair. Sad to say, many marriages have hit the rocks because of a child being suspiciously born with the same colour hair as the milkman or the husband's best friend... but if the couples had taken a lesson in elementary genetics, I am sure that the divorce courst would have been far less busy.


What colour eyes will child have father has green mother has brown eyes?

My mom n i have dark brown hair my dad has black hair both my grandparents have dark hair my boyfriend n his sister have light brown hair n his mom has blond hair what color hair will the baby have?

If the females parents both have dark brown hair and the males parents both have light brown hair, their is a 50/50 chance of having either colour hair. Although if that is not the case, the child could have blonde hair if one of the grandparents has blonde hair also, there is not a definite hair colour. It is all down to chance.
