what is the odds of two black people having a white child and verse versa?

according to genetics,if both parents are homozygous black(both of each parent's alleles or genotypes are the same),the odds are ALWAYS zero.eg:both parents' genotype is BB(B-black colour is the dominant while b-white colour is recessive)the children are ALL BB,so they are All black. \n\nif one parent is heterozygous(genotypes are different),same as above.eg:if the mother is BB & the father is Bb, 2 children are BB while the other 2 are Bb,which means All are black\n\n  if both parents are heterozygous the odds are i in every 4 children. eg:both parents are Bb, 1 child is BB-black , 2 children are Bb-black & 1 child is bb-white.\n\ni hope u have studied genetics in bio-if not,then ur lost!good luck!!!

Its actually more complex than a typical simple black and white mix (referring to color)\n\nAlbinism is a genetic disorder that is quite recessive.  The possibility of the resulting child having the color of black, white or "blended" would depend if the child inherits the albinism. \n\nInheriting the afican parent's albinism depends on the caucasion's popsibilty of passing along albanism as well. \n\nTaking the albinism factor out of the equation and it is safe to say that the offspring of a person with black skin and a person with white skin will result in a blending of the skin colors. \n\nIt is also safe to assume that the offspring will appear to have more of an african-american (black) look as opposed to a caucasion (white) look and would appear to be a child of mixed heritage.

3 of my ex's are black. So I would have to say... NO\n\nMaybe I was just unlucky\n\nlol!

All your responders so far have assumed that the next child's gender is independent of the prior children's genders. That is a correct assumption.\n\nThey have also assumed that the probability of having a boy is 50%. This is not quite true. Population-wide, the ratio of baby boys to baby girls is approximately 105 to 100, so the percentage is actually a bit over 51%. \n\nThis is also based on the assumption that the probabilities do not vary from one couple to another. You may have read descriptions of techniques for increasing the probability of having a girl, or of having a boy. And if so, you know that the things you have to do (I won't get too graphic here) are things that some couples are likely to be doing already (because of the geometry of their bodies, or the chemistry of their bodies, or because of their technique). So I suspect (and this is only my opinion) that the probability of having a child of one gender or the other varies from couple to couple.\n\nThat last-mentioned suspicion could probably be tested by determining the relative frequency of families with different combinations of boys and girls. Do siblings of the same sex tend to occur more frequently than if each birth were a 51/49 proposition? If so, then there is likely a variation from couple to couple. And if they occur LESS frequently, then we REALLY have a conundrum, and I have NO idea what it would mean.

Not really. You would be able to predict a few things, but reproduction is basically a reshuffling of the genetic cards, in which all the traits mother and father inherited are part of the deck, including recessive traits that may have been carried for hundreds of years without expression. What any child looks like depenmds entirely on what your hand looks like after the mother's randomly chosen cards and the father's are combined when the egg is fertilized. There are so many possible combinations that though a few things may be more likely than others, it's still the luck of the draw.

Twinning isn't that rare in humans, its now something like 30% per 1,000 births. Recent research has suggested that a genetic predisposition may exist but the exact cause for the splitting of a zygote or embryo is still unknown.

None I want to wait a while before I have any.Congradulations on your child any way,how old they!?But I want either 2 identical twin boys or just 1 boy or 1 girl thats it!

Well you see, as yet, no one has ever been able to find any real historical proof of the existance of this couple.  Sure, there have been all kinds of interpretations of various discoveries, that this or that "must mean" something else.\n\nBut this is a great question, as it simply points out a fact:  Genetically, how did one couple spawn so many different races?\n\nThere was an earlier question on this subject, where it was pointed out that even in the bible there are references to the existance of others, outside Eden, with whom those cast out must have mated.\n\nAt any rate, there must be other factors involved.\n\nThis being the case, then Adam and Eve can be supposed to have whatever genetic and racial characteristics you want to assign.  Who could proove otherwise?

I agree, but sadly i don't think there is much that will change anytime soon.  My only hope for the future is that because of the increase of mixed race babies and interracial couples, one day this will be the norm and race will no longer matter becuase eveyone is a lil of everything.

The only difference between the DNA of white and black people is the DNA for pigmentation, which I think is about 6 or 7 genes. These 6 and 7 genes for pigmentation are different between all white and all black people, however all the other 1000's of genes are even distributed (on average) between people of different races. The fact is, all humans share the same genes, but different races have a greater frequency of different genes. Practically, on a genetic level, all humans are the same.

I've read the chances are anywhere from 10% to 22%.  \n\n(there are 3 children in my family.  I'm straight. My siblings are gay)

YES! i think the first case was reported in 1910 when a white woman had sex with a black man and white man within a short time period. she gave birth to one white child and one mulatto child.

I personally think interracial dating is a beautiful thing. I don't think it matters as long as the the two people that is in that relationship are happy, that's all that matters. f$%K what other people think. it's the 21st century and if they can't deal with it, then don't look. And about the babies. Beautiful kids. that's all I have to say.

If there is anyone on either side of the family that has red hair, there is a slim, slim chance of having a child with red hair. BUT it is really not very likely.\n\nIf there are no family members that you know of with red hair, then it is not going to happen.

Maybe a fetus or two.

I've never heard of it, but it could happen. I mean, monocygote twins (identical twins) are exactly alike, their development is the same like any other baby, except for the company :) So I guess it could happen, I've never read a report case on it. The odds of an hermaphrodite are very very low combined with the chances of monocygote twins, the odds are almost impossible (just guessing).

50/50 chance it will be a boy for each birth therefore three boys
