Is it possible for a black man and white woman to have a child that ...?

Question

That has blond hair, green eyes, and white skin? This child is about 10 now so it's not changing.

I'm not racist, I'm just curious.

haha, I'm not the man.

Answer 1

Yeah, I have seen two children like this, but it was from a black woman and white man. Genetics is really a wonderful thing especially when you mix races because you never know what your going to get. *u*

Answer 2

Yes. Even two apparently black parents can have a white child if the proper genes are there. They could likely have recessive genes that show through in the child that weren't shown in the parents. It's not super common since many of the dominant traits are going to be things like Black hair and brown eyes but yes, it is possible. Look up Mendel's genetics to get more of an explanation on how it works :)

Answer 3

Possible, though not common.
It would all depend on the genes of both people - even a black person could carry blond hair/green eyes/white skin genes (they may not manifest themselves in that person but could still be present).

And to be delicate, it could also depend on the man's heritage - many black female slaves were raped by their white masters before the Civil War and bore children. Some would have looked like the other black people, and over generations those hidden genes from that horrific time in history could manifest themselves.

Answer 4

The general rule says that the baby can not be darker than the darkest partner. Since there is alot of mixing, lighter genes can remain hidden and later find a match and produce a white child. There are other genetic markers that can relate to race, what do they look like?

Answer 5

I watch a lot of discovery and when I was pregnant with my first I watched a lot of shows consisting with that. Actually it is very possible. If the females blood is strong the child could enhearate more of her genes then the dads genes. Example I am a white women, blonde hair and blue eyes and my husband is pacific islander, my daughter who is now 4 looks nothing like me. She looks almost like dora the explorer. I sometimes joke around saying I want a D.N.A test done cause I dont think she is mine. But anyway, it is possible. If you are concerned though get a D.N.A test done.

Answer 6

Some genes that are responsible for some specific traits are correlated with the sex chromosomes. For instance, the boldness trait is carried on the x-chromosome, therefore, guys tend to develop boldness than what girls could. It could be possible to have children who have blond hair and blue eyes in the third or the fourth generation. Not the first generation

Answer 7

I think so. The man could have a recessive white gene (one that doesn't show up on his person). So if the child gets that and the mother's white genes, he or she will end up being white. It's the same case for the rest of them. Even if the mother doesn't have those qualities, it is possible for her to have recessive genes that show up in the child, too.

Answer 8

My son is 3, well past the big "change." He is dark blond, grey eyes, and has very fair, white skin. His father is black, fully, and I am white. He is beautiful. This black woman at work always teases me about him saying you could never tell. It's true, most people are surprised.

Answer 9

It's possible if the black man has any light recessive genes, . But if that's not the case, it's probably not possible. Look on the internet under dna + hair color for more info.

Answer 10

A black and a white parent will *absolutely never* have pure black nor pure white children, but only mixed colored ones, because in this case both the genes are dominant; it's called co-dominance.

I am sorry to tell that, but that woman cheated her husband!
