brown hair, but red/orange beard?

Question

Does anyone think it is weird that some people have brown hair on their head but a red/orange beard. Do you think this is very common, it is hard to tell because most people shave their beards

Answer 1

not really - some Scandanavian genes there!

Answer 2

It's not unusual. I have brown hair and a red beard. I wear a goatee. In the summer my hair sun-bleaches to a dark blond, but my beard stays red. My Mom's side of the family is mostly Native American, so she has very dark hair (well, before it went grey). My Dad's (a red head) side of the family is German and Dutch. His brothers and sisters all have red hair except for one, who has dark brown hair. In my opinion this is one of the beautiful things about the blending culture in America.

Answer 3

this can probable ensue as at the same time as cells divide, the genome must be copied to copy the previus gene, and something from bacteria to arches can impression this. Genetic recombination may also change the inherrited chromatid, ensuing in a change or a mutation not considered till later in generations.

Answer 4

I know a few guys like that. Can't tell you how or why it happens. There are a few giveaways though, such as pale skin, freckles and a reddish tint that you wouldn't notice unless you were really scrutinising their hair. Their pubic hair is red too!

Answer 5

not strange at all common yes i am in that group more or less.
