if a white girl with ginger hair had a baby with black man... could the baby come outh with ginger hair..?

Question

i think it could....could'nt it?

Answer 1

It's unlikely because for the baby to have ginger hair, both parents would need to have the gene (allele) for ginger hair because the allele for ginger hair is recessive. That doesn't mean both parents need to have ginger hair. Sometimes these traits can be hidden. If the father is a carrier of the allele, then it's possible. If your baby grew up and had a child with a redhead, their child may have ginger hair because your child will be a carrier of that gene, even if they seem black, brunette, whatever.

If the father has no history of red headedness in his ancestors, then your baby will have the same hair colour as it's father.

This only applied to red hair. Brunette and blonde hair are both dominant alleles, so if a blonde person and a brunette have a child, the child could come out with either hair colour.

Answer 2

The colour hair of a Mixed race child will be dominated by the parent that has the darkest hair.
The darker the hair colour the deeper the colour. For example, blond hair is in fact transulant, it just appears to have a colour as such because when put together as on the head it has depth therefore appears to have colour, This is different to when someone bleaches their hair, which actually strips the colour from the hair follicle.
So the answer to your question is in general a mixed race child from a white person (despite their hair colour) & a black person will NOT have ginger hair, not in the sense that a white person's hair is ginger. That's not to say however that the appearance of red overtones will not be present, anything is possible.
Don't forget that as the child grows older so the hair will darken.
Hair colour or skin colour alone cannot determine which parentage a child comes from, A mixed race child will have other features that shows they are mixed race.

Answer 3

Ginger Black Baby

Answer 4

Black Ginger Baby

Answer 5

Yes this could definately happen i have a cousins who's mum is ginger and dad it black and she has lovely blonde hair so i would have thought that a baby could come out with ginger hair! the colour could change later on as the baby gets older though.

Answer 7

It's possible, depending on the black man's genetic makeup. But even a mixed man and a light skinned, fair-haired woman will probably have a baby with dark hair and dark skin. This is due to the fact that dark eyes, hair and skin are dominant traits when it comes to genes/genetics.

Answer 8

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, my daughter has this theory that a bi-racial child tends to learn toward the hair type, color as the mother. Since she said it (about a year or so ago) I started taking notice, and, surprisingly 99% of the time, the child's hair will follow the mother's.

Answer 9

Absolutely. Red hair is a recessive gene. If the non-red haired parent carries the recessive gene, there is more than a good chance of the baby having red hair.
