Hair Colour of Children?

Question

If someone with brown hair (whose parents both have brown hair and sibling has dark blonde hair) has children with someone with black hair (whose parents also have black hair), what is the hair colour most likely to turn out to be?

Answer 1

Most likely the colour will be dark but you have to remember with each generation you have the chance for dormant genes to become dominant.

Answer 2

There's no way of knowing, because there are lots of alleles that go into determining hair color, rather than just one or two.

Case in point: My grandmother had red hair, my grandfather had medium brown hair; they produced one redhead, one brunette, and one blonde! My mother (the redhead) and my father (black hair) produced a blonde who darkened to very brown at puberty (me) and my brunette sister. I had the blonde hair that turned dark brown, married a man with dark brown hair, and we had a blonde! There REALLY no way of knowing!

Answer 3

Light hair is a recessive trait. That means that it takes genes frm both parents to see the trait. Probably the children will have dark hair.

Answer 4

that depends on whether or not black is a dominate trait over brown or if there can be some co-dominance, it also depends on the actual genome of each person, if they are heterozygous, homozygous dominate, or homozygous recessive, without knowing a little more information, i don't think you could really produce any type of good conclusion.

Answer 5

probably dark, unless the person with black hair had a hidden trait. darker traits are dominant

Answer 6

JUST DEPENDS ON WHO IS MORE DOMIANT THEN IT CAN GO TO YOUR PARENTS AND THERES SOMETIMES EVEN MORE DOWN THE LINE MY MOM IS WHITE WHILE MY FATHER IS MEXICAN YOU LOOK AT ME AND I LOOK TOTAL WHITE NOT A HINT OF MEXICAN IN ME. BUT I HAVE A DAUGHTER WITH A MEXICAN MOM AND MY DAUGHTER LOOKS MEXICAN SEE EITHER WAY IT CAN GO
