Why a person with black hair could be either homozygous or heterozygous?
A person with black hair could be homozygous for the black hair allele (having two copies of the same allele) or heterozygous (having two different alleles) because the black hair trait is determined by more than one gene. If a person has two copies of the black hair allele, they would be homozygous for the trait. If they have one black hair allele and one allele for a different hair color, they would be heterozygous.
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 is the recessive hair type?
The recessive hair type refers to the genetic trait responsible for straight hair. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the straight hair gene (one from each parent) in order to have straight hair. If only one copy is inherited, the dominant curly hair gene will be expressed instead.
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.
What are two visible characteristics that you inherit from your parents?
Two visible characteristics you inherit from your parents include your hair and eye color. These are directly determined by the genetic material passed down from each parent to the child.
What are the hottest hair styles?
Depends on the person's personality, and texture of hair.
How do you make a white person's hair texture like a black person's texture?
they can just put affros and dreadlocks.
What is a physical character trait?
A character trait that shows what is on the outside of a character, like the hair, eye, or skin color
What is an inheritable trait?
An inherited trait is a characteristic passed from the male and female parents to the offspring or child through genes. The genes are the unit on our chromosomes that are responsible for all our characteristics. The chromosomes consist of thousands of genes. The whole chromosome is made from a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA for short. Some of these genes act individually but most act depending on which other genes are nearby or environmental factors or some don't get switched on unless something triggers them to do so. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Each of us inherit 23 chromosomes from our mother and 23 from our father. Males have one mismatched 'pair' which is referred to as the sex chromosome. Males inherit a y chromosome from their father and an X from their mother, whereas females inherit an X from each parent. The trait on one chromosome can be blocked by the matching trait on the other chromosome in the pair. These 'matching' traits are called alleles. It is rare that we inherit a characteristic just from one pair of alleles. Every living thing has DNA. Plants and animals that reproduce sexually get half their inheritance from each parent. These genes then recombine into the number of pairs for that species and a unique individual is produced. =================== An inherited trait is a trait that you inherit from your parents like height and hair color. =================== An inherited trait is a characteristic you get from your parents like say your mom has blond hair and your dad has brown hair then there baby is going to have a brown hair baby because brown is the dominate color and blond is the recessive color.
Can a white person get a hair relaxer?
Yes. Relaxers go by the TEXTURE OF YOUR HAIR, not the COLOUR OF YOUR SKIN.
When a hair shaft is oval a person has what kind of texture of hair?
Curly and/or 'kinky' hair is shaped like an elongated oval.
What are two method in which a person can show a dominant trait?
eye and hair color
What physical traits do newborns typically inherit from their fathers, and how do they resemble them in appearance?
Newborns typically inherit physical traits from their fathers such as eye color, hair color, and facial features. They may resemble their fathers in appearance by having similar eye shape, nose shape, or hair texture.
Why a person with black hair could be either homozygous or heterozygous?
A person with black hair could be homozygous for the black hair allele (having two copies of the same allele) or heterozygous (having two different alleles) because the black hair trait is determined by more than one gene. If a person has two copies of the black hair allele, they would be homozygous for the trait. If they have one black hair allele and one allele for a different hair color, they would be heterozygous.
What is a trait that overpowers whats a trait?
A dominant trait overpowers a recessive trait. If your dad has brown hair and your mom has orange hair, you are more likely to get your dad's brown hair because it is the dominant trait.
Is red hair a ressesive gene?
Yes, red hair is typically considered a recessive genetic trait. In order for a person to have red hair, they must inherit two copies of the recessive gene associated with red hair color from both parents.
Can inherit type hair?
No
