If two parents have dark hair, the child will most likely have dark hair.
If one has light and the other dark, the child has a 75% chance of having dark hair or a dark-dominated mix because the gene for dark hair is dominant.
If two parents have light hair, the child will most likely have light hair.

Of course, it gets a lot more complicated than this, the genes of the child's grandparents and great grandparents could be carried by the parents as well. So if the parents have dark hair but they each have a parent with light hair, the light hair gene will be carried by them and could be passed on to the child. That's how it is with genetic disorders, such as Systic Fibrosis or Sickle Cell Anemia.

Serga [27]

Populations are influenced by fluctuations in any of the abiotic cycles. The fluctuations of seasonal cycles can cause populations to hibernate, migrate, or breed. Organisms breed as a result of seasonal fluctucations that cause them to have a limited resource supply. Fluctuations in the phosphorus cycle can cause <span>changes to aquatic ecosystems, either positive or negative.</span>

Clostridium tetani spores, which are commonly in soil and animal faeces are deposited in the wound and germinate in anaerobic condition. It releases toxins which are tetanospasmin and tetanolysin. Tetanospasmin is responsible for sustained contraction while tetanolysin is responsible for hemolysis of blood cells which is commonly associated with clostridium tetani.
