I'm multiracial ( 1/3 african, 1/10 native american, and a little more than 1/2 
caucassian) my mom has very fine, silky and red caucassian hair, and I was 
wondering what the chance of me having a child with caucassian hair would be if 
I married someone with fine hair. I already know that my hair is a little bit 
like my mom's, although it's coarse and curly, it it fairly nice compared to 
other african american women I know. So I wanted to know if I could ever pass 
on that gene from my mom, or possibly even the red color of her hair as well. 
Thankyou.
