I wanted to know could a kid with a mixed mom and a white father still turn out to look Afrcian American even thougth they have African Ancestry but more WHite Ancestry or at least look mixed. And could a kid with a mom who has a black mom and a mixed dad and a dad with a mulatto mother and a white father produce black kids and are their cases of this

with genes you never know what the pool will present,Kids are beautiful whatever their color.

A, they will have the same phenotype, but not necessarily the same phenotype.  If you are basing this question on simpler Mendelian genetics you could have both parents with trait A, resulting from Aa (parent 1) and Aa (parent 2), but the offspring genotype is AA.  They all appear the same, but they aren't on the genetic level.

My son is interracial and he is the most beautiful male I have ever seen. Not just Mama bias, either...strangers remark on how handsome he is. I think it's something to do with getting the best of both races. Whatever it is, I have seen very few (maybe 2) 'mixed' people that I would say are unattractive.

Well, I have been discrminiated against and racially profiled. I am a militray wife and been just about every where and because of my fair skin I have been assumed to be Everything but, black. Because they say I "sound" white. Many people are under the assumption that all black people are "brown skinned". NOT TRUE. we come in different shades. I am mixed with Seminole Indian, African American, German and Irish. Despite of my many mixed nationalities I am abdominatly "Black". But, it's ashame to see that people still use the "N" word even within the black community. But, as soon as a person of a different race says it, it's offending. So, why call eachother that. It is a sticky discussion and can go on for years to come.

Yes it is. You'd be surprised at the recessive genes  a lot of black  folks have, so they may just look like the average person of African decent but they may have a lot of other genes from other groups dormant in their genetic code. So it is entirely possible that the child could have straight hair.

Not always. My grandson is 11 and he is totally light skinned like his mom and has light brown hair, only thing that gives a hint is his name Fernando lol. His sisters on the other hand all have that nice tanned look and dark hair like their father.

neither africa nor asia are racially homogenous.  look at the vast differences between indians, arabs, and chinese in asia and pygmys, berbers, and black africans in africa.  there is huge variation.\n\nrace is not genetically significant.  people from the same race often show more genetic differences amongst themselves than they do with other races.  its just that we see skin and hair color predominantly and make the false assumption that these must be important indicators of genetics.  i don't know what caused differing hair and eye colors to evolve, but i am certain that these are very superficial traits which actually would have virtually nothing to do with whether the people are racially or genetically homogenous.

Assuming Black is dominant (B) and Albino is recessive (b)\n\nThe first cross produced all black\nbb x BB\n---B-----B\nb Bb----Bb\nb Bb----Bb\nFrom here, you can see that all the offsprint have one dominant Black gene, so they will all be black.\n\n\nThe second cross had about half albino\nbb x Bb\n---B-------b\nb  Bb-----bb\nb  Bb-----bb\nFrom this one, you can see that half of the offspring are homozygous recessive bb, and are albino.\n\n(Ignore the ---- in hte cross, they don't mean anything, they are just for spacing because yahoo deletes multiple spaces)

Each of us is formed from the great and varied pool of genes floating around in all of our ancestors. Hundreds, thousands of them. I can't remember the exact numbers but the odds of having DNA from your great gramma are slim. But, not impossible.\n\nActing or thinking Arab is something that would have to be learned, that is not genetic my dear lady.My father and mother looked nothing like their great grandparents. I know because they kept photos for us to look at. But they might still have some of their genes or DNA floating around in them.\n\nI once read a story about a white women who gave birth to twins. One was white like her and her husband and the other was dark with very tight curly hair like an African American. Her husband was a bit put off wondering if she had dallied around and even her parents were judgmental. BUT, after doing some genetic testing of family they learned that one of her parents had a distant African American ancestor that had been accepted as white. So here were the genes coming into play after about six generations. It was her own mother who criticized her and unknowingly passed the genes to her.\nSo,  anything can happen.....

Green is an ambiguous color in eye genetics. There is a very good chance your child would have light colored eyes, but brown hair is dominant over red hair. Plus, it looks as if your boyfriend was lucky with his red hair color, seeing as black hair is dominant. His father must have been heterozygous otherwise that would never have occured.\n\nYou are also heterozygous, since your mother had blond hair. There is an approximate 25% chance that your child will inherit your boyfriend's red hair.

cute question, shows good off the wall thinking, keep asking more, some people will think your just being a smart ass but I like the question.  \nP.S.\nIs someone from Egypt that now lives in America and African-American after all Egypt is wholly a part of Africa yet many are more Caucasian in appearance?

To some families race is important.  If you read the bible, you will see why some families believe that races should not mix.  He is not the one with the problem.  It seems to be his family.  If he is not strong enough to break it to his family...he is not strong enough to be in an interracial relationship.

Blacks do not call themselves Afro-Americans. That's what white people started putting on apps. I don't consider myself an Afro-American nor do I consider myself and African- American. I was not born or raised in Africa nor have I ever been. My mother or father has never been nor have their parents or the ones before them. That's just another way to let others know  they are referring to a dark skinned person.

im mixed- i'm german and chinese.\nBut i disagree with you, there are some people who have only one lineage....like in China for example- the population is booming!  I don't think everyone there is mixed.  Just my opinion.

My dad has brown eyes and he has classical Jewish features (black hair, hooked nose, etc.), but he is dark skinned. He must have had a Negroid ancestor. His twin sister, on the other hand, is blonde haired, blue eyed, and white as chalk. (Do you think grandma [white] slept with a Caucasian & negroid person at the same time? grandpa was mixed, though he was Jewish) It is our only explanation why one twin should be "white" and the other "black". Does this help?

it's not a simple question, but yet it is.... and i see the underlying statement in it... yes your child could be african etc if the laws of the land allow... not every country has the same laws as america.... if your child if born in a country where dual citzenship is allowed and you are only visiting, yes, he may receive citiizenhip from that country, but you do not....he will also be a US citizen since his parents are, but if he does not return to the US and get his SSN and etuff before a certain age, it will be difficult.... a lot of people take advantage of these laws, it's not fair to many, but it happens...but being born in a country does not make you "...ian"  it just allows you to have the potential to be a citizen of that country.... just because you were born in a country does not make you of that country.... it's kinda semantics....
