Darkangelism Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Not predictable, its more likely they are going to be whiter, but its not a sure thing. Link to post Share on other sites

cherry2000000 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 most definetly errol ..but curious on the genetic thing .. Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 You can't tell. There is no certain answer. The child could look like the mom, like the dad, or a combination. I've seen all those different results. Link to post Share on other sites
befuddled11 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 What the heck would it matter who/what the child ends up looking like? The only 2 times I can think that someone would be concerned about this, is: 1) a gal cheated, got pregnant, not sure if she got pregnant by her partner or the "fling" and she wonders if the color of the child's skin/how he or she looks more like will help to determine WHO might have been the father. She's either curious because she's not sure, or she's afraid someone else might "question" the child's look and start to get suspicious as to the paternity. 2) someone is trying to figure out, by looking at a child (skin color, resemblances), whether that child perhaps WASN'T actually fathered by the person whose believed to be the father. Do either of these 2 scenarios apply? Is that why you're asking this question? Link to post Share on other sites
cherry2000000 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 No neither of these apply to me befuddled sorry....i have 2 kids already im divorced and im in a relationship and im thinking of having another child with my current guy is all im jsut curious on what color the skin would be by all means ill love him or her no matter what both my other kids have blonde hair and blue eyes Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I think the resultant child would be Columbian/Italian with some Scottish. That's my guess~ Link to post Share on other sites
quankanne Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 a child resulting from that union will most likely have dark hair and dark eyes, unless the brown-eyed parent carries a recessive gene for light colored eyes. But that's not my definite answer, because genetics provide a wonderful mixed bag of results. My sister's two kids are complete opposites: the older boy takes after our side of the family, he's got the dark hair, eyes and skin of a Hispanic, while his brother is a blue-eyed blondie with a lovely golden color of skin, takes after his German side of the family. Their parents? Mama has dark hair, eyes and skin, while their dad is fair-skinned, dark-haired and hazel-eyed. other nieces and nephews in my family have dark hair, but light colored eyes, only two have inherited my dad's green eyes. So, you can never really tell what you're going to end up with! one thing I've noticed, though, is that if the child has Hispanic, Native American or even Mediterranean ancestry, chances are, he'll be a lovely shade of gold ...

cherry2000000 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 thnx i know my great grandmother had indian in her and all of her 7 children except one came out black hair brown eyes the one came out blonde hair blue eyes.same way with my sisters kids her ex hubby is italian black hair brown eyes but her son came out blonde hair blue eyes my sister has brown hair blue eyes i guess you just never know i do have an aunt on my fathers side who is half hispanic by her natural father she has black hair and i think blue eyes but very very light skin basically white Link to post Share on other sites
Errol Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Isn't the darker gene the dominant one in most cases? A friend of ours (hispanic with traditional colors/features) is married to a woman of sweedish/german desent and she has light skin, blue eyes and pale blond hair--as does both of her parents. Their older son looks like the dad and their older daughter looks like the mom as far as coloring and features; and the twins (one each) have dark hair, hazel eyes and light skin and don't look like anyone in either side of their family!

Girlie Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 As everyone said, it really does vary. I am white, blonde hair, light-eyed, german, and my son's father is half hispanic, very dark, brown hair, brown eyes. My son looks more like me. But that might be because the other half of his father's family (the non-hispanic) have genes very similar to mine. It all depends. Link to post Share on other sites
quankanne Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 gene combos ... gotta love 'em! Isn't the darker gene the dominant one in most cases? I would figure that to be the case, but each generation poses even wilder possibilities of features combinations than the one before. example: my dad X my mom green eyes X brown eyes light skin X dark skin dark hair X dark hair = six kids, all dark complected (F1 generation, for you biologists) X dark haired spouses who have blue or green or hazel eyes = 9 grandchildren (F2 generation) ... 4 have blue eyes, one has hazel eyes and two each have green eyes or brown eyes. All but one have dark hair (the sole blondie), and six have a golden hue of skin; three are dark like my mom. What surprises me is that we learned in biology class that green eye color was more dominant than blue, but we've not seen that in the third generation of our family. Brown is predominant in the F1 generation, but blue is the most predominant, brown and green are the least predominant among the F2s. The F3 (my parents' great grandbabies) have different colored eyes, though all have a sort of honey-blonde color of hair and golden skin color: the little boy of the family has green eyes like his mother, his sister has hazel eyes like her dad and their cousin has blue-green eyes like her mom. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's really all just a mixed bag! Link to post Share on other sites
