Is it possible to have 1 kid with black hair & 1 kid with brown hair when both parents have blond hair?

Question

No dyes, DNA alteration, etc.
I think if mum drinks Guinness during pregancy, kid will have black hair and if she drinks lager, brown hair.

Answer 1

lol sure it is my husband cousin had 3 kids two with blond hair and one with brown...both her and hubbie have brown hair lol it would run in your genes though

Answer 2

I thought that since blonde is recessive, a blonde person has to have two recessive genes to be blonde. Therefore, they could only pass on recessive genes which means the childen would have to be blonde. Same goes for blue eyes. However, I am sure that if mum drinks Guinness that will make all the difference. The child will also have an increased IQ.

Answer 3

Genes can do humorous issues. i in my opinion am Cherokee Indian and Amish. entire kinfolk for a minimum of 15 generations are all Black or crimson heads. no longer the rest. yet then my middle sister and myself come out blond and blue eyed. After studying it we found out a Swed have been given into the kinfolk an prolonged time in the past. Took that long for those genes to combat to get to the precise. many times black or brown is dominant over different colorations if in the gene poll. besides the fact that it additionally relies upon on the place in the gene this is whilst in comparison with crimson, blond, and so on. mom and dad that are the two blond danger having crimson head little ones reason 2 blond genes push the crimson gene forward the place if its basically one blond gene its greater dominant than the crimson gene. a newborn ought to actual have hair that doesn't journey their mom and dad, grandparents, great grandparents, or maybe great great grandparents. Plus hair differences over age. i actually became into born with white bleach blond hair yet in the present day at 37 its greater of a dishwater blond with crimson colours.

Answer 4

How the child looks, its hair colour eye colou, tall or short, fat or think has nothing to do with WHAT THE MOTHER EATS OR DRINKS DURING PREGNANCY.
Its all genetics and DNA.
My fathers family are mostly blonde and red heads, mom's family is dark brown, blonde and black headed. The eye colour of my fathers familis is blue and green, and my mom's family is full of green, blue and brown eyed people.
Mom's family are dark complexioned people who tan easy, and father's are light complexioned people who over time tan, but usually burn.
I have green eyes, black hair, and whereas mom is tan I am lightskinned and I burn easy.
My sons have dark blonde hair and are dark complexioned, and my daughters are light skinned with brown and strawberry blonde hair brown and blue eyes.

**Every person has two copies of every gene, one from their mother and one from their father. If the two genes are the same, such as brown eyes and brown eyes, then the person is homozygous for that trait; if the two genes are different, such as one brown and one blue eye gene, then the person is heterozygous for that trait, but the dominant trait will always be expressed. For example, a heterozygote for brown eyes will have brown eyes even though he has a gene for brown and a gene for blue. If the person has two genes for blue eyes, then the person is homozygous for the recessive trait and thus will have blue eyes-- the only way a recessive trait can be expressed is if the person has two copies, or is homozygous, at that gene. In our example, brown hair or eyes is always dominant to blue or green. The trait green is dominant to blue, but is not within the same gene, but only modifies the blue trait. This is why some people have hazel, or brown-green eyes. The eyes appear green only if they are on a background of homozygous blue.

If you are homozygous recessive, then you can only give a recessive gene to your offspring; likewise, if you are homozygous dominant, then you can only give a dominant gene to your offspring. If you are heterozygous, however, there is an equal chance of giving either the dominant or the recessive gene to your offspring.**As you have learned from other Q&A, the genetics of hair & eye color can be confusing because several genes are involved, not just one. Because you and three of the four grandparents have brown hair, that seems most likely for all of your children to have brown hair, although blonde or red-brown are possible. Eye color in your family is anyone's guess, but brown, green, and blue are all possible, with brown seeming to be most likely.

Answer 5

You're joking about the Guinness, right?

Yes, it's perfectly possible. Blonde is a recessive gene, so even if you have two blonde parents there's no guarantee that the kids will be blonde.

Answer 6

definitely...

Blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin is actually the omission of pigment in those items there are quite a few more but those are the most common. Having no pigment and carrying traits like blonde hair or blue eyes is the equivalent of having Opositive blood in amatter of speaking.

Blonde hair is a recessive trait, and hides in the bodies genes...kinda' like a mutation, believe it or not. The trait of blonde hair can come out at anytime, regardless of the parents traits.

Answer 7

the gene for hair from likely to unlike goes like so first likely black hair(ok really really dark brown) then brown and finally blond so the example your gave us aren't so uncommon. and if u have 2 brown hair parent and u have a kid with blond then that means one of your ancestors was blond

Answer 8

Well, mom should NOT be drinking anything with alcohol while pregnant! The hair color of the parent's doesn't matter. It can be ancestors that determine the hair color. There have been two white parents that have black children because they have black ancestors. This happened to a famous actress and her name escapes me right now.

Answer 9

Indeed it is possible. Often traits will jump one or two generations. My uncle has bright red hair and the only person in our family with red hair is his great-grandfather, many of his facial features look like him as well. As for drinking Guiness during pregnancy, it is a bad idea.

Answer 10

It is very possible for kids to do that. My mom and dad have brown hair and I have blonde and my sister has red. Go figure.

Answer 11

I don't know what those substances are but you should look at your families history when it comes to hair color.

Maybe blonde hair skips a generation for both of you.

Therefore your children have different color hair.
