We are biology students who are looking into dominent genes in reproductive situations and were wondering what would happen if a black male and female with ginger hair had a child? Does anyone know of any instances where this has happened?

Genetics is all probabilities and ratios. If they had 1000 babies I could tell you approximately how many would be boys or girls or whatever but one kid could be any of the thousands of possible variants.

I'm sure the ginger gene is the ressesive gene and the black gene is dominant. In that case, the baby would just look like any other child with 1 black parent and 1 white.

If you are biology students you should surely know that the black hair gene is dominant over the red hair gene, and therefore in 99% of cases the child will have black hair. We learned that for GCSE.

Various things could happen. The child could come out predominately black skin with ginger hair, or the child could come out with light skin and black hair. It does depend on the dominate genes in its DNA.

The other way round but my friend is black, She has 2 children by a white man with ginger hair, both children are very pale skin with ginger hair, she had a 3rd child with a white man and her daughter is half cast with black hair.... Is there any logic?!

It depends on what genes the black man is carrying. Is his hair blonde, black, red, brown...? Black, brown, and blonde hair are all dominant to red hair, so unless he's carrying a recessive red hair gene, the baby would not have red hair.
It is relatively uncommon to see black people with naturally red hair, but it does occur. I've known quite a few.

is this your homework or a real existence element? Any case, the kittens will the two be ALL orange/ginger, or ALL black, or a mix of orange/ginger and black ( << darkish orange? Sorry I suck at paintings). it actual relies upon on the colour gene on each cat, recessive or dominant.

well usually the dark appers more then the light
a black male and a ginger pale female will concieve maybe a black child with dark hair or a half caste child with dark hair. The child may have slightly brown bits in the hair but never will have ginger hair.
To be honest i have never seen a black person with ginger hair.Ginger only appears in very whilte people that tend to have freckles. People that can't tan

Just so you know, Brown is a dominate trait in eye colour but you much have Two dominate Brown Traits to guarentee you will get a baby with brown eyes.
For example I am pregnant right now, I have a 50 percent chance of having a child with blue eyes and a 50 precent chance of having a child with brown eyes. I have blue eyes (which is a recessive trait) that means that I have two recessive alleals to get blue eyes, one from my mom, one from my dad. My husband has brown eyes but he carries One dominate Brown trait and one recessive blue trait (you have to have two to make your eye colour as you get one from each parent) His mom had blue eyes, so all she could give him was one recessive blue alleal his dad had brown eyes (But carried a blue alleal because my hubbys brother and sister have blue eyes) thus he had to have given him the brown alleal making his eyes brown. If you do a punnet square we have a 50 percent chance of a child with blue eyes but it depends on if my husband passes on his recessive blue alleal or his dominate brown one.
The person that said that you will have a brown eyed child is just wrong. Sorry. I have friends who have a half caucasian, half african child and it has brown eyes, medium skin & blonde curly afro hair (and yes he is the dad). I have also seen a red headed woman and an african man have a red headed child with afro curly hair. It can happen, it's genetics.

for me it depends on the girl. Like I might see a girl with black hair and think she is totally hot however see a girl with blond tresses that is meh and vice versa.
