paulk27 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I have light brown hair with occasional blond hairs in it. My mom has brown hair and a blonde brother and sister My dad has black hair and a blonde mother What are my chances of carrying the blonde gene?

Moontanman Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I have light brown hair with occasional blond hairs in it. My mom has brown hair and a blonde brother and sister My dad has black hair and a blonde mother What are my chances of carrying the blonde gene? I am thinking that it is not as simple as a "blonde gene" and it would heavily depend on whether or not your mate has the tendency to be blonde. if your mate is blonde I would say there is a very good chance of it, if how ever your mate is not blonde and has no recent blonde ancestors it becomes a bit more iffy... I see no reason to say it's impossible however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk27 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Assuming my mate is fully blonde. What would it be, 50%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagic Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Assuming my mate is fully blonde. What would it be, 50%? I am not a genetisist but maybe can help you a little. Suppose all creatures have similar genes. I wanted to breed white poodle from black which had only black and brown in pedigree. Third generation brought me whites. So you have Cc (C - color, c-colorless), you blond mate has cc Cc +cc = Cc, Cc, Cc, cc You see it would be 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
