Question about genetics…

. My great-great grandmother was asian and married a black man and had my great grandmother. And my great grandmother who was half asian/half black married a black man and had my grandmother. My grandmother married a black man and had my mom. And my mom married a black man and had me. If I married an asian man, would my child possibly look more asian than black?

assuming all those people were pure blood (which is very unlikely) you are 1/16 asian and 15/16 black if you had a child with a pure asian it would be 17/32 asian and 15/32 black. so slightly more asian then black.

your great grandmother was 50/50 so your kid would be very close to 50/50 so the kid may look similar to your great grandmother. there is a pretty big random factor so it is hard to predict
