If it meets (silly expression ) a dominate gene of another hair colour, it will only be activated with a chance of 25%. I could explain more detailled but if you are really interested ask Mendel. Google helps.

@Daniel E. Incest aside... it would be necessary that one member of your family who actually has a recessive red hair gene (which is not too likely) would mate with a partner who has a recessive red hair gene too. Both will have non-red hair. But there is a 25% chance that one of their children gets two recessive red hair genes. If the mating partner has red hair - means a pair of red hair genes - chances would be 50% then. If red hair is not all too common in your region, chances are rather tiny that such a mating scenario will happen.

The recessive gene for red hair is a subset of the blond hair recessive gene (like how green eyes are related to blue eyes) so it's not actually necessary for both parents to have the red gene, it could be a combination of the red and blond genes, but potentially less red.

Well, let me put it this way: when a lab creates a genetic strain of mouse and the background is expected to be pure (that is, no unexpected genes exist within the strain - inbreeding is required for this), if I remember right it's not unusual to have to go through 70 to 100 generations to be relatively certain that you have a pure background with no hidden surprises. You could probably get away with fewer generations, but... you get the idea. There can be traits that would not present within three generations, easily.

We brought up our great granpa in a chat at home, wich is what caused me to post and ask here. We would be quite happy to have a new red haired person in the family, yet, it's not something that will actually make us do a forced change in our lives. If it happens yay, if not oh well, life goes on regardless! I thank you all once again for your replies everyone!

You need to upload the pic to a hosting site such as image host.
http://www.imagehost.org/ Click on browse, select the image you want and click on upload. Copy paste the Forum Thumbnail Link code on the forum and you are done. A quick guide made by forum member cats with some additional info (plus pics for every step) is below: http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...1&postcount=96

Here's a basic guide to how Dominant and Recessive genes work, I think it should clear up all questions.

Thanks again mit. A bit more on this and we could end up with a red-haired thread in general chat.
Anyway..... Was checking an old Tears of Tiara entry back at Jason's Blog, and a comment there caught my attention. One of the posters there mentions that if you try to roast an apple, it could actually explode because of the heat. Is this true? Would an apple explode if you try to roast it?

That was indeed a silly question by Daniel. I'm also disappointed at him for not going the extra mile at investigating. The Daniel I knew back then was an adventurer who would have microwave that apple and would have told us about the aftermathe of the experiment.
