Is it normal to think i might have other father?

Ok so I had always been wondering why I have blond hair and hazel eyes (brown & green).
My father has black hair and brown eyes and my mother has brown hair and hazel eyes (brown & green).
My sister has brown hair with blond highlights and green eyes.
So neither me nor my sister look like our father. Is it normal? Does it depend on what genes do? Should I really worry about having another father?

    Both my parents have brown eyes, and so does my brother. But mine are blue. It's a recessive trait. However, I have heard that two blue-eyed people can only have a blue-eyed baby.

      True!

      For eye colour blue is a recessive gene and brown is dominant, so you can't 'carry' brown (or you will have brown eyes) the way brown eyed people can carry blue as a recessive gene and if two brown eyed people meet and they both carry the blue gene then 1 out of every 4 of their children should statistically have blue eyes. Other colours are just variations of the blue / brown.

      My dad, black hair, very dark brown eyes.
      My mom, auburn hair, brown eyes.
      Me, blonde hair, blue eyes.
      4 siblings, brown hair, brown eyes.

      I hope we haven't opened a can of worms with some brown eyed kid, thinking his 2 blue eyed parents are his natural parents ;o)

    Seriously? This is totally normal.

    Both of my parents are white, with light blonde hair. I'm black and I have dark brown hair. It happens all the time, just genetics at work.

    Don't be stupid. There are resesive genes where you two might have gotten them.

    It's to do with recessive genes. E.g. Father has one dominant black hair gene and one recssive blonde hair gene, therefore the black hair gene affects and he has black hair. Mother has one dominant brown hair gene and one recessive blonde hair gene, therefore the brown hair gene affects and she has brown hair. The child gets one hair gene at random from each parent. E.g. they could get both blonde hair genes. They are recessive, but there are no dominant genes therefore they still affect, and the child gets blonde hair. This is the rough idea, obviously more than one gene controls hair colour, but it's the same sort of idea.

    Both my bio parents have brown hair brown eyes
    I have blonde hair, blue eyes
    What I'm trying to say is that you can get your color of hair and eyes from anywhere in your family. Gens can resurface it just all deepens on which Gen is dominate, that will determine if you have blonde hair, black hair, or brown. Same goes with eye color

    My dad had blonde hair and green eyes.
