I've always wonder why my hair is the way it is, cuz nobody in my family has the same color as me. They are eather brown, black blond or brunet. And I'm the only one with a copper like color.

Pigmentation....same thing that makes our skin the color it is. It's all in the genes. Sometimes a flaming red head will show up. Genes.
PELUMI: Have you heard of the Mendelian theory? It makes a big difference in offspring.

Have you been to science class? Most characteristics come from your parents through the X-chromosome(mum)&Y-chromosome(your dad);chromosomes are in your DNA which make up genes:)
Genotype are what genes look like
Have you heard of resessive alleles?
Its basically the genotype your parents pass on to you.Hetrozyos genotype is where your mum has two different ones like 1 Brown hair allel&1blonde one (Bb) obviously the brown is nore dominant.Homozygos is where a parent has same set of alleles such as blond&blonde(b&b) now if a person with 1 dominant Brown allel meets someone with 2blonds.there's a 50% chance they'll be blond because brown over powers blond. Like if both parents had hetrozygos (B+b) All their kids would be brown haired.
but in your case I think someone in your family before out had copper hair which waspassed down as Hetrozygos which is why they are a different color to you.tbh brown,black,blond&brunnett is a wide gene pool= you were probably a faulty gene.
Either that or your mum cheated?:O

Genetic makeup.

Hair gets it's color from melanin pigments found in your hair's cortex.
