What are the chances of my child having red hair...?

My birth dad has red hair. I have blonde and I see myself having a child with a non-white person. Do you think I'll have a red-headed kid???

What are the chances of my child having red hair...?

We each carry genes from both of our birth parents and when we're born we have different features from both meaing in those features, that gene overtook the others (example: blond mom + red haired dad = you being blond).

Though you were born with blond hair, you still have the recessive gene from your dad's red hair gene. Meaning that although you didn't come out red-headed there's still a chance that your child might be red haired. This will only occur if you were to have a child with someone who has or is in the same situation as you.

Now, you mentioned you see yourself having a child with a non-white person. Well, your chances are low, probably 20% or less because since you have the gene of the red-hairedness of your dad, it's not as dominant as the blond gene and certainly wouldn't be dominant when mixed with your partner's gene.

Simple as this. If you have the red-hair gene, yet you are blond, the blond gene dominated the red-hair one. It will continue to dominate unless you were to be with a red head. If you're gonna have a child with a non-red head, then your child has a high chance of being anything other than red-haired.

Remember this though, just because you're blond and your partner wouldn't be red-haired doesn't mean your child wont be. You still carry that gene. It's just that it's probably a 20% or less chance of that happening.

Probably not because a non white person's genes would be dominant over yours.

What are the chances of my child having red hair...?

no because other races usually have dark hair and the darker hair is always dominant

What are the chances of my child having red hair...?

I doubt it, I mean, the gene for red hair is a recessant one. Most likely you'd have to be with another person who has the recessant gene, and that wouldn't be likely if you're with someone whose not white.

What are the chances of my child having red hair...?

I hope you like red heads, because there is an excellent chance your child will have red hair. Red hair is very dominant if there is any at all in your immediate family. In my case, neither of my parents have red hair, my greatgrandmother had red hair, one of my brothers has red hair and my daughter has red hair, my sister's daughter has red hair and my brother's daughter has red hair. So weird how it happened that way. None of us expected it except for my brother who himself has the red hair.

I guess if the father of the child is non-white then darker hair may be more dominant on his side, so due to that it may lessen your chances for a red-head.

Either way, it's so much fun to imagine what your child will look like and part of the whole miracle is that you can never really know.
