The gene for red hair is recessive to the gene for black hair.What will be the hair colour of a child if he inherits a gene for red colour from his mother and a gene of black hair from his father?Express with the help of a flow chart..if you can..otherwise can you please tell how to draw it

Can you please help this question?I don't know the answer.I had waste much more time in this question,but I didnot get the answer...

Here,black colour is the dominant one because black colour plays a dominant role over that of red one...but I don't know to draw the flow chart.

Can you please help me fast..I am waiting for this question for several hrs..

You're welcome!

Black hair and green eyes

Certainly! I can help you with that. Let's break down the problem step by step to figure out the possible hair color of the child.

First, we need to understand the inheritance of hair color. In this case, the gene for red hair is recessive to the gene for black hair. This means that in order for a child to have red hair, they must inherit two copies of the gene for red hair, one from each parent.

Now, let's create a simple flowchart to represent the possible combinations of genes and the resulting hair color:

1. Start with a square or rectangle to represent the child.
2. Draw two arrows coming into the square or rectangle to represent the two genes inherited from the parents. Label one arrow as "Mother's gene" and the other as "Father's gene".
3. From the "Mother's gene" arrow, draw another arrow going out with the label "Red hair gene" if the mother has a gene for red hair or "Black hair gene" if the mother has a gene for black hair.
4. From the "Father's gene" arrow, draw another arrow going out with the label "Red hair gene" if the father has a gene for red hair or "Black hair gene" if the father has a gene for black hair.
5. Now, we need to combine the two genes in the child. Draw two more arrows coming out of the child's square or rectangle.
6. If the child inherits a "Red hair gene" from the mother and a "Red hair gene" from the father, label one of the arrows as "Red hair".
7. If the child inherits a "Red hair gene" from the mother and a "Black hair gene" from the father, label one of the arrows as "Black hair".
8. If the child inherits a "Black hair gene" from the mother and either a "Red hair gene" or a "Black hair gene" from the father, label the other arrow as "Black hair".

And there you have it! A flowchart representing the possible hair colors of the child based on the inherited genes from the mother and father.

If you are unable to draw the flowchart, you can simply follow the steps described above to determine the possible hair color of the child. In this case, if the child inherits a gene for red hair from the mother and a gene for black hair from the father, the child's hair color will be black.
