From what I remember of biology, there would be a 50% chance of blonde or red hair. Been a while though, so don't hold me to that...

Wouldn't you just get a strawberry blonde? :mrgreen:

Yeah, actually, Afk.

When there are two recessive genes, each of them shows themselves lightly. So, you'd probobly end up with kind of a pale strawberry blonde.

Alternatively, when there are two dominant genes, such as black and brown, they each show themselves strongly, meaning you're liable to end up with a very very vibrant brunett.

Wait wait, I thought that the mixing of hair colors was due to "crossing over" of genes (including the specific alleles) in the process of meiosis....... and even with that, the chances of producing a mixed expression is minimal (1-2%?).

Either that, or my genetics have gotten really rusty.

Men: Male humans
Women: Female humans

Same species. Different sex (gender).

It's simple. Why is it so hard for you guys to understand. We're the same species. They just have different organs than us (I'm a male)

And chemicals that makes us think differently. (no offense)
The chemicals produced by the genes of the X chromsome distinguishes the sex.

God only knows about that hair color question. LIth was a srawberry blonde as a child, and now has a freakish blac/red hair.

BUt that could be the hair dye showing... ^.^;

Blondeness is a reseive gene. And it would die out, if no more blondes bred.

Of course, the same applies to all hair colors.

Best bets on when that's going to happen? ^.^

Within 300 years, black, brown, will be the only real natural hair colors, and blondes will be extinct.

Blondes response: Well Duh ! We'll be dead by then ! XD

Sorry, just had to do that.

Why not blond and blond mix and get more blond?

then that would be like adding, but subtracting

you add two blonds together, but subtracte the IQ greatly

They want hair not IQ.
Or just dye it.

Blondes won't die out. It has to do with dominant and recessive genes. I know this girl, her parents both have really dark hair but she has blonde.
