what skin color will the child be if one parent is already of mixed heritage?

It could be any colour from ebony black to snow white.See the link below for an extreme example.\n\nSkin colour genetics is not simple recessive/dominant. It is a very complex trait based on at least 8 genes on 5 different chromosomes. As a result it is perfectly possible for children to be considerably darker or lighter than either parent. \n\n\nBeing "mixed heritage" makes no difference whatsoever. All humans are of mixed heritage and always have been. There isn't some hypothetical pure human heritage that has only one skin colour present.

He's an American and I believe that he comes from a multi-racial family.  I have read an article that states which parent is what race but I can't remember when or where.

compromise with your dad, meet someone that is mixed (half white and half black)

I'd guess slightly tanned skin, high cheekbones and the hair could go either way. Really, it all depends on whose genes are more dominant.  I'm very much Cherokee Indian but you'd never in a million years guess it by looking at me.  All you can see is Irish.  My personal opinion though is that it would be one BEAUTIFUL baby!!!!

well the child would have one part of the blood type of mother and one of father like if father is OO and mother is  AO then the child would be type A.

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.

One of my dearest friends in h.s. was mixed.  The word we gave her?  Special.  Unique.  The color of your skin is just that - a color.  It has nothing to do w/ who you are inside where it counts.

Supposedly (according to the Montel Williams show) it is possible, but I've never seen it happen.\n\nMy son's father is very dark, I am sort of medium olive-skinned, and my son is about the same shade as my light-skinned black roommate, whose parents are both much darker than she is. \n\nIn my experience, children will often turn out to be LIGHTER-skinned than their parents, but almost never darker. I am a prime example of this. I do know a few individuals who have children that are marginally darker than their parents, but never a biracial kid.

According to the information given, it is not possible for the A negative child to be your child. Bummer. Sorry. You better re-test to make sure though.\n\nIf both parents are type O, their children must be type O as well.

No.  The children will be blessed with their own unique set of DNA, although they will probably look like siblings.

The children would have bloodtype A or bloodtype B.\n\nThe "O" which they get from one parent is merely an absence of the information necessary to have specific antibodies against other bloodtypes.

Are you trying to say you look like a white female but you are really asian? Well, my mom is Korean and she looks like a white woman too, only with natural black hair. She married my dad, an african american and so I came out brown skinned. None the less, I consider myself bi-racial and not just one race. I am proud of my heritage. I love my skin color too.

This is a bit tricky, My Grandparents are both aboriginal but my grandfather has Irish bloodlines, when my Aunt was born she had blue eyes and red hair. The rest of the family has brown/black hair and complexion. When my Aunt had her daughter, she was also a red head and her father had brown hair. Red hair is a pretty strong gene but you never know what you're going to get.

depends on their heritage

If it's a form you're filling out and there isn't a category for mixed race, put either one you want. Or check both and let them figure it out. \n\nIf someone asks you and you feel like telling them, you could say "my mom is caucasian and my dad is mexican."  If people ask they probably are just curious.

If two people can find each other and connect, that's what really matters.  I always tell my kids, I'd rather have them be with someone of a different race they love that loves them and treats them well, than someone of the same race that doesn't.  Love doesn't know color.

Such characteristics are shaped by the chromosomes you receive from your parents. There's a gene for every color of eye, color of hair, thickness of hair, color of skin, thickness of skin, shape of eyes, weight, height, life span, character, etc.\n\nEvery person receives information for every part from 2 people, so it will have 2 probably eye color, hair color, etc. Even when only one will appear, that person still can give the other gene to a child.
