Did you know that I have red hair?
No and you are quite lucky to have it since it occurs to only 1-2% of population
I always knew that it was pretty uncommon. I wonder where most redheads live...
Mostly in Europe since thats where most red heads live
I could've guessed that. Do you think that being a redhead could be genetic? I wonder if my kids will be redheads, too.
I think so since red hair appears most commonly in people with two copies of a recessive allele on chromosome 16 which produces an altered version of the MC1R protein.
Hm, if it's recessive, that explains why red hair is so uncommon. Does that make red hair a mutation?
I guess so ,it happens because of low levels dark pigment in your hair
