The recessive allele can only persist in a favorable environment. The proper environment is for two recessive alleles to exist together. Then they would function properly as if the two were a dominant allele.

Why doesn't polydactylism occur in everyone if it is a dominant trait?

Just because an allele is dominant does not mean that it is necessarily common.How common a version of a gene is (i.e. its frequency in a population) depends on how it affects an organism's chance of surviving to reproduce. Natural selection may favor a recessive allele of one gene and a dominant allele of another.

Can we say I am looking a favor from you?

We can say, "I am looking for a favor from you." But if we're looking for a favor from someone, we don't usually tell them we are. We usually ask them for a favor, and leave it up to them whether or not they will favor us. After all it is a favor, not an obligation.
