Answer:

1. C

2. D

Step-by-step explanation:

Parents pass down genes to there kids. They can pass down certain ones, like a gene for red hair.

Not every gene you get is instantly going to happen, if you get one brown hair gene and one red hair gene, you are going to have brown hair since it is a dominant trait.
