What if a gene skips a child can that gene be given to there kid?

A person can only pass on genes that he/she has inherited from his/her parents. You may be talking about a situation in which a recessive gene is not expressed in a child because it inherited a dominant allele as well, and is heterozygous for that trait. If that child then has his/her own child, the recessive trait could be expressed in the children of that child, if the other parent also carries the recessive allele.
Example: One parent has brown eyes, the other has blue eyes. Their child inherited a brown eye allele and a blue eye allele, and has brown eyes, but is heterozygous. This child then has a child with another brown-eyed person, and their offspring has blue eyes, even though both parents have brown eyes. It just so happens that both of these parents are heterozygous for brown eyes, so they both carry the recessive blue-eyed allele which they each passed on to their blue-eyed offspring. So, this makes it look like the blue-eyed allele skipped a generation, but in reality it was always there, but not always expressed.

Can brown eye parents have green eye child?
It is possible, since the brown eyes could be a recessive or dominant trait in either the mother's or father's genotypes, and the father and mother might just be carriers of the brown eye gene in their genotype.
Can a blue eyed man and a brown eyed woman make a blue eyed kid?
Theoretically, a blue eyed man and a blue eyed woman cannot produce a brown-eyed child. The reason is that neither parent carries the brown-eyed gene. If the father or mother did carry the brown-eyed gene, the eyes/irises of that parent would be brown. The gene for brown is dominant over the gene for blue. However, two brown eyed parents can produce a blue eyed child. In that case, each parent with brown eyes must carry the gene for blue - the parents' eyes are brown because the brown gene is dominant over the blue gene. However, if the child inherits a blue gene from both brown eyed parents, the result will be blue eyes although both parents have brown eyes. In the case of one parent with brown eyes and one parent with blue eyes, there is a possibility that the parent with brown eyes possesses the non-dominant blue gene. If the child inherits the blue gene from that brown eyed parent, the child's eyes will be blue since the gene from the other parent with blue eyes will be blue. There is a condition known as heterochromia iridis where one eye is brown and one eye is blue. This condition is usually pathological on a neurogenic or inflammatory basis with the abnormality usually being in the lighter/ blue eye. Acquired heterochromia iridis that develops in an adult may suggest a melanoma of the iris in the brown eye.
Can two brown haired brown eyed people have a blond hair brown eyes baby?
It depends. If both parents are pure for brown hair then no. But if they have hidden genes (genes that are there but don't show themselves) It can be possible. However both of the parents will need to carry the hidden gene because if the baby gets one blonde haired gene and one brown haired gene then the baby will have brown hair because brown hair is dominant. But if the baby gets two blonde genes then they will have blonde hair. This can be highly unlikely because there is no way to tell which genes the baby will get but it's still possible. Even if a set of parents are brown haired, it is entirely possible for this child to have blonde hair in infancy. It is common for babies to be "born tow haired" and the hair gradually to darken througout his babyhood. It is one peculiarity of genetics concerning a dominate and a recessive gene concerning hair. The presence of blonde hair on a child can indicate that the color is temporary if both parents are brown haired. While the child might have an almost white hair color during infancy, in such cases as this, by puberty the child usually has the color of his parent's hair. This anomoly is also observed in children with "red" hair. There is a recessive gene which gives the child red hair in infancy, but the hair color fades to brown by puberty.
Will your kid be normal if you have it with your cousin?
If you have a child with your first cousin, you have a very small chance of the child having a genetic disorder, a few percent at most unless you are a member of an ethnic group that already has a genetic disease in its genome. If you have a child with a more distant cousin, the chances are even less.
Colorblind male not colorblind female can there kid be color blind?
He will always be colorblind in that case because the defective gene is carried on the "X" chromosome, which males only have one of. You see, the colorblindness gene is recessive, which means if it is paired with a regular color seeing gene it is hidden, and the person can still see the difference between red and green. Because males have only one "X" chromosome, if they get the colorblindness gene from their mother, it will always lead to colorblindness. Side note: Males cannot receive the colorblindness gene from their Father, as he cannot give a "X" chromosome to his son. If he did, his son would be a daughter.
What happens after you have a kid in harvest moon ds?
After your child is born the game automatically skips three years. Your baby is Toddler. A circus moves to town and Hugh and Katie will have grown older. The old women Nina will have passed away.
Can to brown eye mom and dad have a kid with blue eyes?
Yes. If the mom and dad both have one recessive gene for blue eyes, there is a 25% chance that the child will have blue eyes. Since the blue eyed gene is hidden when the brown eyed gene is present, the parents will appear to have brown eyes even if they still contain the gene.

Does it mean I'm not the father my partner and i has curly hair but your grown child has straight hair?
Not at all. The curly-hair gene is dominant, meaning only one of the two genes for hair curl has to be set to "on" to give you curly hair. For the heck of it, C is curly hair and c is straight hair. If you are Cc (one curly gene, one straight) and your partner is Cc, you have a 25-percent chance of producing a straight-haired kid: the child could be CC, Cc with the C gene from you, Cc with the C gene from your partner or cc. And in this case, the child is cc. So yeah, you and your partner definitely could have produced a straight-haired child.
In which movie did Harrison Ford and gene wilder star?
