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 color hair is dominant?
Brown hair is typically considered a dominant trait, with individuals who have at least one copy of the dominant brown allele showing brown hair.
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?
Yes, you may carry the recessive gene for reddish brown hair, as hair color is determined by a combination of genetic factors. Your black hair indicates that the black hair gene from your father is dominant, but you may still have inherited the reddish brown gene from your mother, which can be passed on to future generations.
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

You are more likely to have brown hair because the brown hair gene is a dominant gene, and not the blond hair gene.
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?
Yes, it's possible for you to carry the recessive trait for reddish brown hair since the trait can be inherited from your mother, even if you express the dominant trait (black hair). The presence of black hair in you doesn't exclude the possibility of carrying the gene for red hair.
If black hair color is dominant and white color is recessive what color hair does the offspring have?
If one parent has black hair (dominant) and the other parent has white hair (recessive), the offspring will likely have black hair, as the dominant gene for black hair will override the recessive gene for white hair.
What hair color is most common?
Brown because it is a dominant gene
Why do most people have brown hair?

Is brown or red hair the dominant gene?
Normally when the red and brown hair genes infuse with each other, the brown would come more dominant. For some notable reasons. Red hair (otherwise known as ginger hair) is a genetic mutation between blondes. Its inheritance chances are very low (usually 5-10%), while brown hair is somewhat an adaption between black hair and blonde hair. Thus with a higher chance.
Is brown hair a dominent trait?
Yes, brown hair is considered a dominant trait. This means that if an individual inherits one copy of the gene for brown hair, they will typically have brown hair, even if they also carry a copy of a gene for a different hair color.
