Does the red hair gene skip a generation?

I am pregnant with my 1st baby and I just have a question.

My mom has red hair and her brother (my uncle) has it to. My 2 sisters and I do not have any red hair. My sister had a baby and she didn't have red hair. My baby's father doesn't have any red hair in his family. Does anyone know how this works? What are the chances of my baby having red hair? Does it skip a generation? Thanks for your help!

This all has to do with genetics. Red hair is a recessive gene, so therefore unless his family has more red hair, then your children will not have red hair. blande hair and red hair are recessive because of the lightness in color. Blue eyes are the same way. If you are not satisfied with my answer, then look up Punnett Squares and make one of the genes that run in both of your families.
