Yes, the gene that determines brown eye, hair etc. is a dominant gene. To have blue eyes, blond hair, you must have two recessive genes.
um, whoever just answered this question, you really need to read the whole sentence CAREFULLY because if you didn't notice(jk you OBVIOUSLY didn't notice) it says BLACK hair NOT BLOND hair!!!!! anyway, sorry i don't have an answer i just searched it myself. i was hoping for a good answer from whoever answered this question but, guess not! i feel for whoever asked this question. you must be frustrated.

What is a dominant gene and what is a recessive gene?
Recessive gene is one which is supressed and do not show their characteristics and dominant gene is one which show their characteristics for example if a father has brown hair and mother has black hairs and if their son has black hair then in this case gene which has characteristics of black is dominant and the other which has characteristics of brown colour is recessive
What color hair is dominant?
black color in hair is a dominant trait. same goes for brown eyes. blonde hair a blue eyes color is the opposite.
Are you more likely to have blond hair or brown hair?
You are more likely to have brown hair because the brown hair gene is a dominant gene, and not the blond hair gene.
To have blond hair do both of your genes have to be for blond hair?
not necessarily.ok there are two parents each giving the child one gene. if one gene is recessive and one is dominant the dominant gene will decide the hair color. example the recessive gene is black hair and the dominant gene is blonde the child will most likely have blonde hair because the dominant gene is blonde hair. the dominant gene masks the recessive gene
If your mom has reddish brown hair and your dad has black hair and you have black hair do you carry the recessive gene of reddish brown hair?
Yeah. You can still carry the gene of the reddish brown hair.
What hair color is most common?
Brown because it is a dominant gene
Why do most people have brown hair?
It's all in the Genes. The dominant color gene allele for hair is brown.
If your mom has brown hair and your dad has black hair and you have black hair do you carry the recessive gene brown hair?
Yes indeed, and you always will!
If your mom has reddish brown hair and your dad has black hair and you have black hair do you carry the recessive trait reddish brown hair?
No, you carry the dominant trait of Black hair.
I have blonde hair my boyfriend has brown hair what color will your babys hair be?
Blonde is a recessive gene and Brown is dominant. Therefore, your child's hair will have an extremely high probablity of being brown.
What is a dominant genes?
A dominant gene or variant, refers to gene alleles ("variants") that "beat" other (recessive) genes. Meaning that if an individual has both a dominant and a recessive allele for a certain trait, the dominant allele will express itself "over" the recessive one, affecting the phenotype accordingly. A common example, while being a simplification of the actual complexities of the matter, is hair color. Brown hair is dominant over blond hair. A person with blond hair has both genes for that trait recessive, while a person with brown hair can have either both "brown hair color" genes or one "brown hair color" gene plus one "blond hair color" gene.
What color eyes and hair will a baby most likely have if the mother has light brown hair and green eyes the father has black hair and dark brown eyes but grandmother has blond hair and blue eyes?
I am only going off 7th form bio here but in terms of the eye colour: blue is the resessive gene. brown is dominant. Because the father's mum has blue eyes - he MAY be carrying the blue gene (but still has brown eyes showing as this is dominant). It is possible for the baby to have blue eyes. This will happen if the baby gets the recessive blue gene from it's dad, and the recessive blue gene from it's mum as well (I'm pretty sure green eyes carry a blue gene). BUT if it gets the brown eye gene from it's dad - then even if it gets the mum's blue/green gene - it will have brown eyes because brown is dominant over blue/green. Don't know about hair colour sorry :)
