Can parents that are both very fair complected have a child that is very dark complected?
The question is really very complex! First it depends on what you mean by fair skinned this can be a rather subjective assesment. I know my Indian friends refer to some Indian skin tones as "fair" and call me "white" even though my skin tone is darker than a "fair" Indian in summer. This problem has also troubled scientists trying to research the topic! Secondly, we would need to discover the genes responsible for the colouring of each of the parents current wisdom suggests there are around 40 genes which may play a part. Deducing how different combinations of those 40 genes and there many variations (alleles) interact with each other will take a very long time! Thirdly we all know that skin colour is altered by sunlight, so it depends on how much time mum and dad spend sat indoors to how much time the child spends playing outdoors. Fourthly some people choose to artifically darken or lighten their skin tone with cosmetics depending on what is fashionable for their location. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=212702 The data comes from the paper above. Mendelian genetics would suggest that the skin colour of the child should on average be intermediate between the two parents, however it will range from "the sum of the parent's darkness" to the "the sum of the parents' lightness". There is always the chance for random mutations to cause a darker skin tone than expected and there is always the chance of some of the unresearched genes being recessive and only showing dark skin in double copies, one from each parent. In summary, yes there is a possibility.
What else can I help you with?
If a mother is heterozygous will she have a child with blond hair?
It depends on the genetic material passed on to the child by both parents. If the father also carries genes for blond hair, there is a chance the child could have blond hair, especially if both parents carry the gene for that trait.
Are dark complected people scorned in India?
Maybe, they are just kind of tanned but it only matters if you like who they are. :)
Can two blonde parents have a dark haired child?
Yes, two blonde parents can have a dark-haired child if they both carry a recessive gene for dark hair. The dark hair trait could be passed down from previous generations. Hair color is determined by a combination of parental genes, so genetic variability allows for different combinations of traits in offspring.
If a child has a black mother and black and white father would the child be dark complex?
The child's complexion could vary widely based on the genetic inheritance from each parent. The child could have a range of skin tones, from dark to light, due to the combination of genes from both parents. Skin color is determined by multiple genetic factors, not just the parents' skin tones.
Can a Brown haired parent have a redheaded child?
YES!!!! Both of my parents have dark brown hair. My oldest sister has blond hair and my other sister and I have copper red hair!!!
What color eyes will your child have if mother has dark brown eyes and father has hazel eyes?
It is difficult to predict with certainty. The child could inherit either dark brown or hazel eyes, as eye color is determined by multiple genes. There is a possibility for a mix of both parents' eye colors as well.

Can two white parents produce a dark skinned child?
skin pigmentation can come from the genes you carry and are made up of. so if you had 5 siblings and 1 was ofdarker skined and 4 who were of fair complexion and all 5 siblings went and had 3 children one of the fair complexion siblings could have a darker skined child and so forth.
What are the odds of a blue eyed male and a brown eyed female having blue eyed child?
It’s 75% brown eyes and 25% blue. But we had four kids and we both have brown eyes his dark brown mine light brown, both our parents have one brown eyes and one blue eyed each. 2 of my kids have very blue blue eyes one has green and one dark brown, all beautiful, same with their hair.

My mom n i have dark brown hair my dad has black hair both my grandparents have dark hair my boyfriend n his sister have light brown hair n his mom has blond hair what color hair will the baby have?
If the females parents both have dark brown hair and the males parents both have light brown hair, their is a 50/50 chance of having either colour hair. Although if that is not the case, the child could have blonde hair if one of the grandparents has blonde hair also, there is not a definite hair colour. It is all down to chance.
