The allele for red hair is recessive to the allele for black hair. What colour hair will a person have if he inherits an allele for red hair from his mother and an allele for black hair from his father?

Answer:

Black hair

Step-by-step explanation:

(In most cases) A child from red+black haired parents would have black hair. The allele for black hair is dominant to that of red, and would be the phenotype of the hair.
