Blonde hair and red hair are recessive traits, meaning that they require two homozygous recessive alleles to be expressed (in this case, bb or rr). What hair color would the child of a blonde and redhead have since there is a 100% chance of them being br? Would one recessive allele dominate over the other? Are there real life examples of blonde + redhead and what were the resulting children?
I am absolutely not a scientist/geneticist so please be correct any factual inaccuracies I may have made!!

My dad was a redhead, mum was blonde.
I’ve got red hair, as do some sisters. One sister has blonde hair.
Not sure what the genetic explanation is, but that’s the end result either way.
