Black hair vs blonde hair?

Black hair vs Blonde hair?
Hey all, say that two people have 5 kids.
The father has black hair, tan/olive skin, and dark brown eyes.
The mother has blond hair, white/pale skin, and light blue eyes.
Just assume that both people come from backgrounds that match their features (i.e., they both has ancestors who look exactly like them).

What COULD their kids look like? Their 5 kids?



Answer
From a non-biological background, I should handle answering with considerable care. Memory says that eye colour is simplest genetically. Dark eyes come from a dominant gene. Unless father can find a fairly close relation somewhere up the family tree and reported to have blue eyes, all five children should have dark eyes.

I think hair colour is considered also to be not very complicated. I have seen it mentioned that red hair is a bit of a wild card. Otherwise if there is no one of Father's Family tree with fair hair, his children should also be dark haired - all of them.

Really and truly from the outside for this part, my reading suggests that skin is important enough so that there may be lots of genes with some voice in controlling it. Certainly by the second generation I would expect a range of skin colours. Again I think strong pigmentation is dominant, but I have an impression that with parents as described all of the children will have dark skins, but but not as dark as their dad.

Finally I would emphasise that there is almost certainly better researched information to be had if you do your homework on the web.

Brown hair and brown eyes vs. red hair and freckles?

Which do you like better??


Answer
Brown hair and eyes with freckles is usually better than red hair and freckles because her freckles show up better with darker hair. However, rusty-red hair and tons of freckles beats the other two. Freckles ROCK!
