Question

If someone with auburn hair has children with someone with red hair (but whose mother had black hair), what are the genotype and phenotype probabilities for their children?

Another type of non-mendelian trait: Multiple alleles. Human hair color is controlled by one gene
with four alleles (with some incomplete dominance):
HB = brown Hd = blonde h* = red h* = black
The possible genotypes and phenotypes:
H*H or Hh* = blonde
H*h* = strawberry blonde
H'h* = auburn
HH = mousy brown
H"H" or H" h = brown
h*h* = black
h*h* or h*h* = red
