Interesting - but it fits - blonde is a recessive trait...

The mistake is the assumption that dominance means the gene dominates the recessive gene at the population level. This is not what the word means. It simply means that the dominant allele is the one that manifests it's phenotypic consequnce in an individual that has both a dominant and a recessive alleles for the gene

read carefully, it says the the ressecive gene cannot not be lost due to a dominate gene. it can only be bred out of the population through selection.

One of the things I like about this forum is that it makes me think about things I wouldn't have thought of otherwise..so:

For that I meant it takes two people with the trait to make a blonde... two dumbs make a blonde? Oh nevermind....

I'm a natural blonde, I will help reproduce if necessary

Some people have other ideas on how to save the "disappearing breed."

CTV News interviewed two blondes and one of them suggested an idea: "So we should go and mate with a bunch of blonde guys and restart the blonde generation."

Asked whether she would be willing to do that, she replied: "Possibly, if that would help society…I'd be willing to make that sacrifice, yeah."

Spoken like a true genius.

Ah, thank you. It felt so nice to tell my friends that they're an endagered species

They say blondes have more fun so it looks like the world is going to get slightly more boring in 200 years.

Yeah but until then it will be More fun as we blondes try to breed ourselves back into the gene pool!

It is also believed that blondes are stupid - so the world must be going smarter...

I'm naturally blonde!! Can I donate my services!

I'm not sure if Blonde is a purely recessive trait. I mean the people are assuming that it is. It could be that it is recessive to dark brown but codominant with auburn and red hence the dirty/strawberry blonde hair that some people have naturally. The gene will still exist, until it renders those who carry it too stupid to live.
