What would be the probability that two curly haired parents would have a straight haired child?
I don't know the probability for certain really. I do think since it (curly hair) is a recessive gene, then as long as one of the grandparents or great grandparents had it(curly hair), then it would be 50/50. Although I hope someone who knows if curly hair is recessive or dominant will chime in.
My husband has very wavy nearly curly black hair. I have very kinky Celtic copper curls. One daughter has my hair, exactly, but strangely her brows and lashes and body hair are all brown, mine are all translucent blond, except my pubes, which are strawberry blond(TMI?) Her hair is even curlier than mine I think.
Our second daughter has straight sandy blond hair. Dark almost black lashes and brows.
So in our case it was 50/50. Plus some strange surprises, the dark brown lashes, brows, slightly curlier hair, etc in our first child. Sandy blond straight hair, which neither of us have, in our second.
Genetics can be very interesting and tricky. You cannot underestimate the importance of genetic traits that may be recessive or have not appeared in a few generations, popping back up.

What would be the probability that two straight haired parents would have a curly haired child?
1/4 100% however if one parents hair is even slightly wavy, the child could have curly hair
What is the probability that parents that have 2 boys and one girl will have a girl next?
There is not enough information on the propensity for the parents to have a child of either gender and so it is necessary to assume that the probability of the gender of the next child is independent of the genders of preceding children. In that case the probability of the next child being a girl is 1/2.There is not enough information on the propensity for the parents to have a child of either gender and so it is necessary to assume that the probability of the gender of the next child is independent of the genders of preceding children.

What is the probability that a child will have a round face brown or blond hair?
Depends on the parents.
What is the probability that this couple will have a colorblind child?
Impossible to know without information about genes that the parents have. are the parents colorblind? etc.
What is the probability that in this family the first child born is a boy and the last child born is a girl of four children?
There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes. However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.5169, the probability of the event described is 0.5169*1*1*0.4831 = 0.2497

Is it possible for 2 curly-haired parents to have a straight-hair child Explain?
yes because it might be in your generations genes\traits before.I'm curly haired but none of my parents have curly hair : )
What type of hair will two curly hair parents have?
Yes! It's more likely that the child would have straight hair, but it's all about the genes. Likely both of the straight-haired people have straight-hair dominant genes; if that's true, then there's about a 25% chance that the child would have curly hair. If the parents or even grandparents had curly hair when they were younger, it's more likely as well. For example -- both of my parents have straight hair (but my mom had curly hair when she was younger) and my sister has straight hair as well. I turned out to have curly hair.

How can parents with brown hair have a red haired child?
Yes. One or both parents have a gene for red hair therefore the child could have red hair.
Can two blond haired parents have a red haired child?
Yes, it is possible for two blond haired parents to have a red haired child if both parents carry the gene for red hair. Red hair is a recessive trait, so if both parents carry the gene, there is a chance their child could inherit it.
Does 2 brown haired parents make a brunette child?
Not necessarily. Hair color is determined by multiple genes inherited from both parents, so it is possible for two brown-haired parents to have a child with a different hair color, such as blonde or red. It depends on the specific combination of genes that the child inherits.
What is the probability that a child will have a round face brown or blond hair?

What is a probability that a child would be a girl versus a boy?
It would depend on the parents' genes and age. Globally, the probability is approx 0.483
Why do blonde or black haired couples have red haired children?
This phenomenon is due to the presence of recessive genes for red hair in both parents. When these genes are passed on to their offspring, there is a chance for a red-haired child to be born, even if the parents do not have red hair themselves.
