If you have red hair and your husband has dark brown hair your two brothers and grandmother have red hair his family has no redheads what is the chance you will have a red head kid?

Dark hair is the dominant gene over red hair. Your mom obviously had one recessive allele for red hair and the dominant allele for dark hair so she showed up with dark hair. Your father would have to have had two recessive genes for red hair which means you have one dominant and one recessive allele. If your partner carries the recessive allele for red hair, (it didn't show up,) there is a 25% chance that your child will have red hair and a 75% chance that your child will have dark hair. If your partner has two dominant alleles for dark hair your child will have dark hair. If your partner has the recessive allele for another color like blond, there is a 75% chance for dark hair and a 25% chance for a mix of red and the other color. (Maybe strawberry blond.)


How does an Allele help explain why you all look different?

It will get taller but you also can tell by how small it was before and how big it is now.


When gregor mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant the f1 plants inherited which allele copies?

one allele from each parentThe F1 generation inherited one dominant (tall) allele from the tall parent and a recessive (short) allele from the short parent. The F1 generation were heterozygous and tall.


What information would tell you if a cross showed complete dominance?

If a cross between two organisms shows complete dominance, all individuals in the first generation (F1) will display the dominant trait. This indicates that the dominant allele is fully expressed, masking the recessive allele. To confirm complete dominance, further crosses involving the F1 generation can be conducted to observe the phenotypic ratio of the offspring.


What color will the baby's hair be if the father has brown hair and the mother has brown hair?

It's impossible to tell, becaue it depends on the genetic make-up of both parents, since you get your color-genes from your grandparents (and then it's passed on through your parents).

A brown horse gives birth to a white foal The sire of the foal was also brown What does this tell you about the allele for white hair in horses?

There are a few possible explanations for how this can happen. The first would be that the allele for white color is recessive and both parents are carriers. The second is that the foal is the product of a single point, dominant mutation resulting in white coat color. These are the least likely explanations. Since there is no mention in this question of whether the parents have any white markings: The most likely reason for this result is that both parents carry the Sabino allele (Sb) and that the foal received the Sb allele from both parents which resulted in a foal with the maximum expression of the trait resulting in a virtually white foal. Finally there is also the possibility that both the parents carry the OLW allele that they passed to the foal which would result in a white foal that died shortly after birth due to associated defects of the intestinal tract.


What does it mean when you have white stuff on your hair?

It's not white stuff! I am sorry to tell you but you have gray hair


If a child has blond hair and both of her parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blond hair?

Both of the parents were heterozygous with the blonde hair allele, which is recessive. When there are two parents that are heterozygous, there is a 25% chance their offspring will get two of the recessive alleles. A punnett square can be useful when determining the different phenotypes and genotypes possible in offspring


If a child has blonde hair and both the parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blonde hair?

It tells you that even though the parents have brown hair, they have a recessive allele for blonde hair also. And even though brown is suppose to be visually dominant, it is not the case at all. Two brown heads can make a blonde or brown, and of course even red haired child. Another way to look at it may be the parents have the following alleles for hair color: (b,b) - (b,b) in which case the dominant allele is Blonde or Brown.


If a child has blonde hair and both of her parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blonde hair?

It means the freckle trait is recessive. For example, if the allel for freckles is 'f', then the parents must have 'Ff' and both sent a 'f' to the offspring.If one sent a 'F', then the child would have freckles.OMG, gotta tell my science teacher about that, cuz we're learning about traits now and I'm shocked that I knew that!


How can you tell if the hair color is old?

What are the top rated hair shampoos and conditioners for fast growing hair?

Its called "Main & Tail" but it makes your hair grow super fast, not sure if im spelling it right.

How can you tell how old horse is?

you can tell a horses age by its teeth.


How do you tell the difference between a horse and a zebra?

Zebras have white bellies, and are striped with black stripes. Their manes are stiff and rigid, and are also striped with black and white. Horses have softer manes, not so stiff and rigid, and do not have black and white stripes.
