Answer:

no because many genes have to work together to make make something change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type and amount of melanin in hair is determined by many genes, although little is known about most of them. The best-studied hair-color gene in humans is called MC1R. Many other genes also help to regulate this process. Most people have two functioning copies of the MC1R gene, one inherited from each parent.
