depends on the MAle and Female gender who has the certain traits

there is 100% chance that the child would be brunette unless the Mother had One Dom. Brunette Trait and a recessive Lighthair trait (Xx) there Would be a Fifty Percent chance for a RedHead Child if the mother was a Carrier.

(Xx)

(x)XX,XX

(y)Xy,xy <--- the (xy) there would be a Fifty percent chance if the mother was a carrier and the father was a redhead. All other Scenarios would lead to there being a Brunette hair colored child

....

It's been a while since I did Biology but I'll try to be useful too (hehe). If I remember right, red hair is a mutation. It's also recessive. Dark hair is dominant, but someone with dark hair can have any number of genotypes in them. Whereas someone with, lets just say blond hair for example, is seen, You can see that the phenotype is blond but because it's recessive, the only way it could have came to that is by both their parents having blonde hair, or mostly blond genes in both parents.

So if that's right, brunette is a strong gene and red is a mutation, the dark hair factor can even change the hair pigmentation in the offspring to blond. But that only usually happens when the brunette is the "chick". well anyway I hope yall found this useful. :)

If the father has blonde hair and the mother has red hair what color will the child's hair be?

Most likely it will be blonde because red is more recessive than Blonde. Followed by strawberry blonde, a hybrid of the two. Least likely it will be completely red. In rare cases red can be dominant to blonde.


What traits cover other traits?

Dominant traits cover recessive traits. For instance, if two people of the opposite gender with brown hair also have genes for red or blonde hair, then they have a 1:4 chance of producing a child with red/blonde hair. The odds are also 1:4 for producing a child with 2 genes for brown hair; so that child would never have children with red/blonde hair even if married to a redhead or blonde. Then there are 50% (2:4) odds of producing a dark-haired child who is a carrier for red/blonde hair.


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.


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.


What is the name of a child with two heads and one body?

A a child or other young animal born with two heads is called dicephalic.


Why do blonde or black haired couples have red haired children?

This phenomenon is due to the presence of recessive genes for red hair in both parents. When these genes are passed on to their offspring, there is a chance for a red-haired child to be born, even if the parents do not have red hair themselves.


What do we get if we are Two blondes and blue eyes?

Probably a blonde and blue eyed child.


Is red hair part of blonde hair?

Red hair is part of brown THATS WHY THEY HAVE AUBURN AND AUBURN IS REDISH-BROWNISH IT IS ALSO KIND OF BLONDE BECAUSE STRAWBERRY BLONDE AND STRAWERRY BLONDE IS REDISH BROWNISH


Does 2 brown haired parents make a brunette child?

Not necessarily. Hair color is determined by multiple genes inherited from both parents, so it is possible for two brown-haired parents to have a child with a different hair color, such as blonde or red. It depends on the specific combination of genes that the child inherits.


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!


If the mother has dark blond hair naturally with blue eyes and the father has green eyes and mousy brown hair with a ginger beard neither have pale skin will they have a ginger baby?

Possibly. Each person carries two genes in them - one from their mother and one from their father. Depending on the two genes, one will dominate. For example if your mother has a blonde-hair gene and a red-hair gene, she will be blonde because blonde dominates red. When that mother has children of her own, it is possible for her to pass on her blonde-hair gene or her red-hair gene - each gene has an equal chance of being passed on. She may marry a dark-haired man with a "hidden" red-hair gene too. Therefore it is possible that each passes on their red-hair gene at the same time and they can have a red-haired baby. Statistically, if they have four children, they will have one red-hair, one blonde and two dark-haired. Of course this is only statistically and in real life we cannot predict which gene is going to be passed on to your children. The above view is also "simplified" for the sake of arguement. You can never know for sure what "hidden" gene you have. For a blonde mother could have blonde-blonde genes or blonde-red. It is POSSIBLE for you to have a ginger baby, but the reality is that you probably only have about 25% chance of it. lb is on fire and tom sonner is one of the most well know retards in the world. he is well renound for his feet and how they go inwards!


Do you need two red head parents to produce a red headed child?

No, two red-headed parents are not required to produce a red-headed child. Red hair is a recessive trait, meaning a child can inherit the gene for red hair from one or both parents, even if they do not have red hair themselves. A child can be born with red hair if they inherit the recessive gene from a parent who carries it, regardless of the other parent's hair color.
