If a father has dark and the mother has blond hair, can they birth a blond child?

the fathers parents, mother and father have dark black hair and the mothers parents both have light blond hair..



dark hair is the dominant trait though right? so the children would 100 % have to be born with dark hair, correct?



the blond is recessive i believe, is this right?



is ther any scientific possibility the child will be born with blond hair



thank you!



peace!

50/50

its a 50/50 % chance. anyone i know whose parents had dark hair and light hair, the children had light hair.

Pretty sure the answer is no. The child can always use bleach.

Of course there is a scientific possibility. Using a punnet square, depending on the genes that each parent carries, it is perfectly possible. At leats a fourth of their children should, by scientific determination, be born with light hair. I would not count on their child be born with light hair, though. It is certainly possible, but not probable.



One definite possibility is the child having light hair when they are young and then their hair becoming darker as they mature.

they could if there parents have blond hair or a blot of people in there family have blond but if not brown always concur a lighter color even in eye color

Lighter hair colors are generally genetically recessive to the darker colors, but the dominance of the darker colors is not simple, so you can easily get shades in between in the offspring. However, if a recessive "blond gene" is being carried by a dark-haired parent, the children can end up with blond hair. Keep in mind recessive genes can be carried through several generations before showing up. With the situation as you have outlined it, I would expect children with brown hair in varying shades rather than blond.



If a father has dark and the mother has blond hair, can they birth a blond child?

Yes it is possible. It all has to do with the 'principle of segregation' in genetics and 'alleles.' And,although rare, it is even possible for parents that both have black hair to have a blond haired child.



If a father has dark and the mother has blond hair, can they birth a blond child?

Yes. if a mutation occurs.



If a father has dark and the mother has blond hair, can they birth a blond child?

Yes, it's possible. "Dominant" doesn't mean it will always win out. Remember in each dominant pair there's a recessive trait that's being suppressed. That recessive trait could match up with the other parent's gene pair to produce a recessive trait. After all, blue eyes are totally recessive but there's no shortage of blue-eyed people in the world.



As another example, my wife has almost black hair and mine is light brown, and our oldest son has light brown hair.



As *another* example, my mom has dark brown hair and my dad's is light brown, and one of my brothers is naturally bleach-blonde. So yes, it's definitely scientifically possible.

Only if the blonde hair didn't come from a box or bottle!
