RE: Return to Genetic ramblings

Good question Kathie.  In humans, the only way to get a red-head is by from
two people with the read hair gene.  Since the red-hair gene is recessive,
it would follow that two redheads definitely each had two red-hair genes.
Therefore, would their offspring necessarily have red hair?  My
understanding of human genetics is that yes, they would.

Then why is it that a green fruit sometimes (often, depending on the seed)
produces orange fruit?

OK, I'll buy a representative sample. 
Now, someone said - was it Brock - that green color is thought to be
recessive. In that case, breed a Green to a Green and you're certain to
get Green, if I am not mistaken. But am I not?
