Normally when the red and brown hair genes infuse with each other, the brown would come more dominant. For some notable reasons.

Red hair (otherwise known as ginger hair) is a genetic mutation between blondes. Its inheritance chances are very low (usually 5-10%), while brown hair is somewhat an adaption between black hair and blonde hair. Thus with a higher chance.

If red is the dominant hair color but the father has brown hair and the mother has red hair and the hair color of the father is dominant then what color will the hair of their child be?

It's very hard to answer this question as there are no details on what alleles the fathers or mothers DNA contains. The father has to have an allele for red hair for the child to have a chance of having it. Presuming that the father has a brown and red hair allele and the mother has the same it works out like this. Brown + Brown = Brown Brown + Red = Brown (Because it's dominant) Brown + Red (from other parents) = Brown (Because brown is dominant) Red + Red = Red The chances of brown therefore is 3:1 as you cannot be sure on what the child will receive. MORE like 5-1 his here will be blond


What color hair is dominant?

black color in hair is a dominant trait. same goes for brown eyes. blonde hair a blue eyes color is the opposite.


What gene shows up even when inherited only from one parent?

Lets say that your dad has brown hair, and your mom has red hair. The brown would be the dominant gene (B) and the red hair would be recessive (b). So you would most likely have brown hair since it is dominant. But if both parents had red hair (b) it would still be recessive. So the genes you inherited would be bb. You would then have red hair. If they both had brown (BB) then you would have brown. But if your parents did have brown and red hair, then you would have Bb. You would still then have brown hair since brown is the dominant color. But then if you have children, They would get one of each, so if you married someone with red hair, there is a possibility of your child of having red hair. I am not entirely sure if this answers the question, so I am sorry if it didn't. Hope it helped.


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.


If Patrick has red hair and his parents have brown hair Patrick's trait must be?

one of his parents must have the red-hair allele, but they both have brown hair so they are both hetereozygous with the dominant brown allele. Patrick's red hair is homozygous recessive

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:)


Suppose that brown hair color is dominant over red hair color in humans Which of the statements is true?

If brown hair is dominant over red hair, then a person who is heterozygous for brown hair will have a brown hair phenotype. Red-haired offspring with two brown-haired parents are fairly common.

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.


If your mom has reddish brown hair and your dad has black hair and you have black hair do you carry the recessive trait reddish brown hair?

Yes, it's possible for you to carry the recessive trait for reddish brown hair since the trait can be inherited from your mother, even if you express the dominant trait (black hair). The presence of black hair in you doesn't exclude the possibility of carrying the gene for red hair.


Suppose that brown hair color is dominant over red hair color in humans. Which of the statements is true?

If you have black hair and brown eyes and you carry a red and black hair gene and your partner has blue eyes and brown hair and carries the red and brown trait with them what will the child look like?

It's possible that the child will have black, brown or red hair.


If you have a child with reddish brown hair but the parents are brown and black headed with blue and brown eyes how can the child have red in his hair?

......... Perhaps the grandparents have red hair. LOok up- dominant and recessive traits.
