What else can I help you with?
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 a baby goat received dominant gene for curly hair from one parent and recessive gene for straight hair from the other which trait will the baby goat display?
curly hair, as the dominant gene overrules the recessive gene I THINK :)
What is gene action?
A delayed-action gene is a gene that takes time to go into effect. Examples of a delayed-action gene are puberty and greying hair.
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.
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 are the genetic factors that determine the inheritance of red hair color?
The inheritance of red hair color is determined by a specific gene called MC1R. This gene controls the production of a pigment called pheomelanin, which gives hair its red color. Variations in the MC1R gene can result in different shades of red hair, and inheriting two copies of the gene from both parents is necessary to have red hair.
Why do people have hair on their head?
Because people look pretty with fat noses.
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.
Are you more likely to have blond hair or brown hair?
You are more likely to have brown hair because the brown hair gene is a dominant gene, and not the blond hair gene.
Is hair on a mans chest the mark of virility?
no
What is bat mans hair colour?
Black
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

Do you believe that a mans strength is in his hair?
No that would be silly
If your mom has reddish brown hair and your dad has black hair and you have black hair do you carry the recessive gene of reddish brown hair?
Yes, you may carry the recessive gene for reddish brown hair, as hair color is determined by a combination of genetic factors. Your black hair indicates that the black hair gene from your father is dominant, but you may still have inherited the reddish brown gene from your mother, which can be passed on to future generations.
What is the hairy gene from the y-linked gene?
hair in the ears
What is chromosomes theory of inheritances?
We have learned over a very long time that the chromosomes carry genes that determine who we are and what we look like. Some genes are dominate and some are recessive. A person with a widow's peak hair line shows a dominate gene for hair line. He may also carry a gene for "round" hair line but it is recessive and not seen.
