- Understanding the Mc1r Gene and Its Role in Hair and Skin Color - Genetics
Located on chromosome 16, the Mc1r gene is responsible for producing a protein that regulates the amount of eumelanin and pheomelanin in our bodies Eumelanin is responsible for dark hair and skin colors, while pheomelanin is responsible for fair and red hair colors

The fur color and tail hair genes are located on the same autosomal chromosome In this figure below, each black horizontal line represents one chromosome and the alleles are placed on the chromosome
- Is hair color determined by genetics? - MedlinePlus
Hair color is determined by the amount of a pigment called melanin in hair An abundance of one type of melanin, called eumelanin, gives people black or brown hair
- The Genetics of Hair Color and How It Works - Biology Insights
Genes located in the HERC2 OCA2 region, for example, influence the production and distribution of melanin, extending their impact beyond eye color to also affect hair shades

Genes located on the sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes Most sex-linked genes are on the X chromosome because the Y chromosome has relatively few genes
- The Structure and Function of Chromosomes and Genes: A Visual Guide
These chromosomes contain the genes that determine various traits, such as eye color, hair color, and height The structure and arrangement of chromosomes ensure the accurate distribution of genetic material during cell division and reproduction
