My Sim has black hair and her future husband has red hair. But my Sim's dad has blonde hair, and her future husband's dad does, too. Does that mean they could have a blonde baby? [[User:Sparrowsong|Sparrowsong]] 04:44, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 
I think it could be possible. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:DavidMC123|DavidMC123]] ([[User talk:DavidMC123|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DavidMC123|contribs]]) - Sign your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></small>
 
Yeah, actually, it's even likelier that their children will have blonde hair rather than red. If your sim's dad is a pure blonde (that is, he has two blonde alleles), then your sim has one black allele and one blonde allele. Similarly, your sim's future husband has one red allele and one blonde allele if his dad was a pure blonde. So, there's a 50% chance that their children will have black hair (because black is dominant and will always be shown rather than the recessive allele). In 25% of the cases the child will be pure blonde and in the remaining cases the game will decide randomly if they're blonde or red-haired (because both red and blonde are recessive traits). All in all, there is a 37,5% chance that they'll have blonde children. Granted, all of this is assuming the grand-daddies were pure blondes. If they weren't, then it's a lot more complicated to foresee. [[User:Crusoe704|Crusoe704]] 22:46, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

== Concerning dominant traits ==
:''Two (dark) blue-eyed parents can have a brown-eyed child if one of the child's grandparents have brown eyes. Melody Tinker is an example of this. In real life, this is extremely rare. An individual carrying a brown-eye allele and a blue-eye allele is meant to express brown eyes (being the dominant trait); however if the blue-eye trait is expressed over the brown-eye trait then the individual may be mistaken as homozygous for blue-eyes (two blue-eye alleles), thus the individual's offspring is expected to have blue eyes too.''
:Can anyone confirm this as being true? [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 21:43, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
