i have dark brown hair green eyes, my boyfriend red hair and green eyes. im wondering if the red genes are going to take over and produce red hair

I have naturally brown hair, my boyfriend has red hair. how likely is it that our children will be redheaded?

That is hard to say, it's all about the genetics and which one of the parents traits it gets most of. I have red hair, my husband has jet black hair; our daughter ended up having light brown hair. We both have brown eyes, our daughter has blueish-hazel colored eyes. Which ever parent has the most predominant genes usually passes their traits on to their kids. It's any bodys guess though, when your thinking about what your kids will look like, it never comes close to when you actually see them.

Brown hair is a dominant gene, do you have red hair in your family?

Your boyfriend will give red hair genes to any offspring you would have, but unless you give a red hair gene, any children would have brown hair.

I have dark hair, dark complexion, brown eyes, and my wife has blond hair, and blue eyes. Our child has brown hair, and blue eyes.

I must have brown hair, blue eyes genes, (in addition to black hair, brown eyes) and my wife must have blond hair blue eye genes only (they are both recessive, so you must have two pairs to match up.)

I gave a brown hair gene, which is dominant, which was selected over blond

and I gave blue eyes, and my wife gave blue eyes genes. Since they are both recessive, only blond could show.

This chart shows that both green eyes and red hair are recessive genes.... Dark brown hair is a dominant gene...

Anything is possible. I saw a child whose dad was red haired... and whose mom was chinese. He had red-hair and a chinese face.

I also on another occasion saw a child who looked everything asian, except for the natural blond hair.

It is multiple-inheritance, so we would need to know hair-color family histories in order to estimate properly. Brown is dominant, but that doesn't mean much in your case.
