If black hair color is dominant and white color is recessive what color hair does the offspring have?

If one parent has black hair (dominant) and the other parent has white hair (recessive), the offspring will likely have black hair, as the dominant gene for black hair will override the recessive gene for white hair.


In mice black hair B is dominant over white b the mouse with the genes BB would have what color hair?

The mouse with the genotype BB would have black hair because the dominant allele B controls for black hair color.


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.

What is a dominant genes?

A dominant gene or variant, refers to gene alleles ("variants") that "beat" other (recessive) genes. Meaning that if an individual has both a dominant and a recessive allele for a certain trait, the dominant allele will express itself "over" the recessive one, affecting the phenotype accordingly. A common example, while being a simplification of the actual complexities of the matter, is hair color. Brown hair is dominant over blond hair. A person with blond hair has both genes for that trait recessive, while a person with brown hair can have either both "brown hair color" genes or one "brown hair color" gene plus one "blond hair color" gene.


Is hair color codominant or incomplete dominance?

Hair color is typically determined by multiple genes, with variations in hair color being controlled by a combination of dominant and recessive alleles. It is not a clear-cut case of codominance or incomplete dominance, as there are diverse genetic factors involved in determining hair color.

What determines whether a person will have dominant or recessive hair color?

Hair color is determined by genes inherited from parents. Dominant genes for hair color will be expressed over recessive genes, resulting in the dominant color being displayed. If both parents pass on recessive genes, the recessive color will be seen.

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
