Red hair is caused by having two recessive genes.


The English elite used English and Irish slaves in the carribean, before using Black people. Whites were a large majoirty for a long time before the importation of Black people. This touch of White in the Black population causes red hair to appear ocasionally in Afro carribeans.

The Irish were used as indentured workers/slaves in America, where African Americans are 23% White. This also gave an opportunity for people to mix, hence red hair in African Americans.

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.
