If you have red hair does that mean that your mom&dad both have red hair? Is it also true for strawberry blond?

To have red hair do both parents have to have red hair since it is recessive, and if you have strawberry blond hair , then what color hair do your parents have to have ? According to the laws of geneticsIf you have red hair does that mean that your mom%26amp;dad both have red hair? Is it also true for strawberry blond?
Both parents do not have to have red hair. They have to have the red hair gene, but since it is recessive, they do not have to have that phenotype. In simple terms: they could have brown hair and still be a ';carrier'; of the red hair gene. Strawberry blond hair is the same deal.If you have red hair does that mean that your mom%26amp;dad both have red hair? Is it also true for strawberry blond?
No. since it is recessive both parents must have at least one recessive gene for red hair. if you know punnet squares i suggest drawing one, or looking it up. one parent could havered hair, both could, or neither could but both be carriers, according to the laws of genetics that it.
Me and my sister have red hair, and the only person in my family that had it was my great grandmother's sister.


My mom and dad both have dark brown hair, my two brother are both blond.
well only one of your parents have to have red hair, if both of your parents have hair other than red then its most likely that you were adopted.
Not at all. Red hair is known to skip generations. Two people with black hair could end up with a red haired child. Its all about the red-head genes. Redheads such as myself are considered a genetic mutation y'know. ;)
