yes it can skip a generation, since it is a Mendel inheritance. and it is a reccesive trait. therefore offspring's can have two unaffected parents but chances are both parents might be carriers

Why do some traits skip a generation?
I like puppies :) Traits 'skip' generations precisely because most traits are not accounted for by a single gene, but by their combination with other genes. There is no brown hair gene, or blue eye gene. These traits may be controlled by recessive genes, so they seem to skip a generation from grandparent to you. For example, if a trait is produced by a recessive gene, one of your parents may be a carrier but not possess the trait (because she inherited a dominant gene that overrode the recessive one). However, when her genes were recombined to produce the ovum from which you grew, and when that combined with your father's DNA, the trait may resurface.
Why is sickle cell anemia most common in black individuals?
Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a defective gene that produces an abnormal form of hemoglobin which is called hemoglobin S. And this gene is particularly common in Western Africa and people of Western African Ancestry. An estimated 8 to 12 percent of all African Americans carry the sickle-cell gene.

How do traits appear in the next generation?
Phenotypic traits are how certain, inherited genes are expressed.During reproduction, both the mother and father gives their child a chromosome, which often results in the child displaying traits similar to his/her parents'.
Is an x linked dominant trait the same as an x linked recessive gene?
An X-linked recessive trait is coded for by a gene on the X-chromosome and is not dominant (is canceled out by the presence of a different allele). Example of X-linked recessive traits are; Haemophilia A & B and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
