What else can I help you with?
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.
Is red hair dominant or recessive?
Technically, black hair is neither dominant or recessive. There are many types of hair colors, so hair color (like eye or skin color) is polygenic. This means there many different genotypes for an array of phenotypes. In a test I recently took, there was a problem with what you are talking about. It stated: the more dominant alleles you have in a set of 8 or 9 pairs of alleles, the darker the hair color. So if both parents originally have black hair, the child would get the most amount of dominant alleles to get black hair too. Ex: AABBCCDD and AABBCCDD would give the child AABBCCDD too. This would result in black hair. (This is very basic. There might be a lot more, but I am not positive)
Which one of the following statements would most clearly refer to a person's genotype a susan has blue eyes b bill is recessive for height and dominant for hair c Karen has broad shoulds?
Statement B, "Bill is recessive for height and dominant for hair," most clearly refers to a person's genotype. This statement indicates specific genetic traits (height and hair type) and whether the traits are dominant or recessive in the individual.
What color hair will the baby have if the father has blond and the mother has brown?
It depends on a lot of things. First, what color of hair do each of your parents have? Lighter hair is a recessive trait, and darker hair is dominant. Chances are that the baby will have darker hair. Of course, lots of children are born with blonde hair that darkens as it gets older. <P>To answer this we have to dabble into genetics... First off both red and blonde are recessive genes, meaning that they do not become the dominnant trait very easily. Brown is a dominant gene, which means it shows up most of the time as the dominant trait. You best guess would to be look at your family history. Are there lots of blondes in either side of your family? If so the chance that you baby would have blonde hair is much higher, because the recessive trait is coming out more. If you mostly have brown or black haired people in your family, the dominant gene is holding and most likely the baby would have brown or black hair.</P>
If you have black hair what color eyes are you most likely to have?
If you have black hair, you are most likely to have brown eyes. However, black hair can often be paired with a variety of eye colors including hazel, green, or even blue in some cases, but brown eyes are the most common.
What are the most common natural hair colors?
The most common natural hair colors are black, brown, blonde, and red.
What are the most common natural human hair colors?
The most common natural human hair colors are black, brown, blonde, and red.
What hair color is most common?
Brown because it is a dominant gene
Is skin color dominant or recessive?
Well, black hair is the most dominant, but if you were comparing, say, blond hair to brown hair then the brown hair would be dominant. I am studying this for collage right now so I an pretty sure this is right, if it's not i am so doomed :0!!! lol! hope that helped, Aquilo
Why do most people have brown hair?
It's all in the Genes. The dominant color gene allele for hair is brown.
What are the most common naturally occurring hair colors found in humans?
The most common naturally occurring hair colors in humans are black, brown, blonde, and red.
Wavy hair is caused by the shared expression of a allele for curly hair and an allele for straight hair?
it depends on which allele is most dominant in the parents.
Is black recessive or dominant?

What hair colors are most common?
BLack blonde and brunette :/
What are the most common hair color traits found in humans?
The most common hair colors found in humans are black, brown, blonde, and red. These colors are determined by the amount and type of melanin present in the hair follicles.
In order for signs to be most effective, they need to have bright colors.?
In order for signs to be most effective, they need to have bright colors.
To have blond hair do both of your genes have to be for blond hair?
not necessarily.ok there are two parents each giving the child one gene. if one gene is recessive and one is dominant the dominant gene will decide the hair color. example the recessive gene is black hair and the dominant gene is blonde the child will most likely have blonde hair because the dominant gene is blonde hair. the dominant gene masks the recessive gene
