Blonde Hair Dna

Brunette map of europe this map indicating the varying degrees of blondness in europe shows how fair hair gets rarer further away from this core area towards the south as one. The most common gene which controls the color of our hair is a brownblonde gene which consists of a dominant brown allele and a recessive blonde allele.

Subtle Change In Dna Protein Levels Determines Blond Or

If they share the same ancestor then their dna should tell them how they get their trait in the same way.

Blonde hair dna. Its official location is 16q243 and is 3098 base pairs in length. The team identified the gene regions associated with blond hair in human dna and then removed those segments of code and tagged them with a gene that coded for a fluorescent blue hue. This is not the case.

So if all blonde people shared a common ancestor then the same dna difference should lead to blonde hair. Blond or fair hair is a hair color characterized by low levels of the dark pigment eumelaninthe resultant visible hue depends on various factors but always has some yellowish color. The mc1r gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 16.

For thousands of years people have both prized and mocked blond hairnow a new study shows that many can thank a tiny genetic mutationa single letter change from an a to a g among the 3. There are many genes for blonde hair in europeans. I am homozygous derived for kitlg and have brown hair.

The mc1r gene encodes a protein made up of 317 amino acids. Changes in that regulatory dna could result in hair color but not skin color change or vice versa because regulatory dna can change gene activity in just certain parts of the body. It seems that europeans have ended up with blonde hair in a number of different ways.

A person with a sequence of mostly brown alleles will have brown hair whilst a person with no brown alleles in their dna sequence will have blonde hair. Extrapolating from a single gene for blonde hair to european blonde hair originated on the steppe is your typical bullshit on this blog which really says a lot about the guy writing it. Depending on the specific mutation known as a polymorphism in the language of genetics hair color will range from strawberry blond to auburn.

The color can be from the very pale blond caused by a patchy scarce distribution of pigment to reddish strawberry blond or golden brownish sandy blond colors the latter with more eumelanin. The people of melanesia have dark skin like those from the african diaspora but they also have blonde hair which provides a reason for some to vehemently argue rather ignorantly some would add.

Blond Hair Originated During The Last Ice Age Some 11 000
