Could a recessive trait skip more than one generation? How could this happen?


Question:


Answers:
yes, cause it's dormant in you, so it can skip generations. it's not as strong a gene as a dominant one.
hope it helps in plain english.

Other Answers:
yes
If the mother gives a recessive and father gives dominant, the dominant will always win. Both the parents must give a recessive gene for it to win out.
A recessive trait would only show up, if the mate of the person also had the recessive trait. You can see this in hemophilia, thalasemia, sickle cell disease etc.
