Answer 2

Haha, someone's got a red hair obsession.

Fairly big chance, because he would inherit the red hair from someone else in his family. You might have to have more than one kid due to the fact there is NO red hair whatsoever in your family's history, therefore more kids would have darker brown hair.  

Answer 3

I agree with Kammy B.  Red (and occasionally blond) can appear in a lot of unlikely places if it is present in the genes (parents, grandparents, great grand parents).  I have not personally seen red hair in Asians, but I have both colors appears in the African American community.

Answer 4

ugh i would hate to be a red head

Answer 5

You'd have to figure a 50/50 chance.

Answer 6

yes there is a chance just use a punnett square hahahaha

Answer 7

Probably not...

The dominant gene in your case would be black hair, not orange. So your kids would have black hair.

It's possible that your grandchildren would though because orange hair would be the recessive gene... Orange hair might pop into the line somewhere.

It really all depends on your and your spouse's genetics. Your spouse might carry a recessive gene of their own.

All kind of weird things can happen. At this point there's no way of knowing for sure.

Answer 8

Yes there is but there is a chance that your children will have your hair color also.

Answer 9

yes because your kids might pick up the fathers genes and get red hair

Answer 10

Here's more information than you'll ever want to know how hair color is determined genetically.

Answer 11

it depends. . . . . if red hair is a ressesive gene and as long as you have no gene for red hair none of your kids will have red hair but they will carry a gene for it. If red hair is a dominant gene and your husband has one red hair gene and one non red hair gene your kids will have a 50% chance of being born with red hair. If your husband has two genes for red hair ( and again we are assuming that red hair is a dominant trait) then your children will have a 100% chance of having red hair. But even with the percents its all a guess. . . . . . your kids could all end up having red hair or none of them could have red hair even if there is a 100% chance that the will have red hair. Those percents are just probabilities.  

Answer 12

There is always a chance. Red is a dominant gene a lot of times over other colors.
