OMG! best answer will be chosen ASAP.?

Question

alright, so. a korean woman and a russian man marry. The korean mom has all the basic asian features. such as dark brown eyes and black hair. The russian dad has blue eyes and light blonde hair.

Is it possible for them to have a kid with blue eyes? or a kid with blonde hair?

please cite your source. or dont. i really dont care.
just answer the question...thanks. =)

Answer 1

Most time the dominant color come through. Which would be brown eyes and dark hair. But in saying that there is chance the baby might have blond hair or blue eyes, it's just not very high. My sisters boyfriend is South African and has a cousin that is blond with blue eyes. The mother is white and the father is black. So in this case the child got the least dominant genes. It can happen just not very common.

Answer 2

I would think that the Korean features would dominate because as a general rule of thumb, the dark traits are the dominant and the lighter features tend to be recessive. I think the baby will probably end up with either light brown eyes or dark brown eyes. I think the hair thing is the same way. Your child would end up with light brown hair. If the Korean woman has someone along her family line with blue eyes, the odds even out a little bit and you end up with a slim chance that the baby could have blue eyes. This is because then you would have two recessive genes for blue rather than just one dominant for brown eyes. They balance out. I am no expert, this is just what I remember learning in school. Hope it helps. I would google genetics to find a better answer though.

Answer 3

Sure it is possible. Blue eyes and blonde hair are both recessive where brown/black are dominant, meaning more likely to occur. Most likely the kid would have darker features but blue eyes/blonde hair aren't an impossiblity, just not a likelihood.

Answer 4

I'm a native american, dark brown hair, brown eyes & skin. The father of my 3 sons is light colored skin, nearly alabaster in the winter, light brown hair and blue eyes.

All 3 of my sons were born with dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. Their skin color was extremely light, like their father. Over the years, their hair color has darkened up, my oldest has my skin color & eye color, my middle son has tan skin and light brown eyes, my youngest is even lighter, but he's darker than his father, with freckles and almost amber eyes.

It's interesting the way genes can mix and you never know till they get older, what traits they will inherit. It is entirely possible for their child to have blue eyes, blonde hair.

Answer 5

yes it is possible. skin color is the only genetic trait that "blends" darker features are dominate but recessive traits like blue eyes can still happen....it is just sort of the luck of the draw. I am pale with dark hair and blue eyes my husband is blonde with a good tan and brown eyes our first daughter is a blue eyed blond and our second is a brown haired brown eyed little sweetie....I don't know if they have good skin pigmentation like my hubby or are fair like me because it is cold and we don't get out much ( live in NY)

Answer 6

Yes, it is possible for the kid to have blue eyes, but the eyes will tend to have an Asian look no matter what color. Blonde hair is less likely, but possible.

Contrary to poster below, both parents do not necessarily have to have the blue eye gene to get blue eyes. Eye color frequently does not follow Mendelian genetics. Even hair color has exceptions.

Answer 7

The genes are there so it is possible for the child to have blue eyes and blonde hair. a girlfriend of mine has a black cousin while both father and mother are white. the dark skin came from a great-great grandfather who's gene had just come up in this kid. and yes they did a DNA test to to confirm that was the father.

Answer 8

I learned about this in grade 12 biology. the answer is yes it is possible however slim. This is mostly depending on the traits of the parents of korean and russian.

i will take the chances of my daugter being left handed as an example.

I am left handed so i have a LL handed gene. My Wife is right Handed but her mother is Left Handed so she has a RL gene.

based on the LL an RL there are four possiblities.

L(1) and R(1)
L(1) and L(2)
L(2) and R(1)
L(2) and L(2)

to be a lefty you need to have a LL combination. so according to the matrix my daughter has a 50% chance of being left handed.

I hope this helps.

Answer 9

I looked up the statistics and (I'm not sure how accurate they are) but it said 4 in 100 women will get pregnant with pre-c*m each year if they know what they're doing and can pull out in time. 24 in 100 women can get pregnant by it if the guy doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't do it right. You should wait until you get your next period and if you miss it, buy a test. Don't stress about it though or you could miss your period even if you aren't pregnant. If you're that worried about it though, you could buy the first response test that's supposed to tell you 5 days before your missed period.

Answer 10

Yes...blue eyes come from two recessive genes. The dad only has recessive and the mom must have at least one recessive gene (one recessive and dominant gene) which can still give her brown eyes. The blonde hair came from the dad. It's very possible!
