Your grandfather is mixed race will your children inherit this gene?

Here is the way it works.
People from two different races have a child. The child will be a mix of those two races.
If that child has a baby with someone from either of those races then those children will share the genes of both parents but the children will have only 25% of the genes of one of the parents. If they have four kids it is likely that 3 will show signs of being mixed and one will not. That one will appear to be of one race.
If any of those children has children then of four children one will show signs of being mixed race and three will not. The three will appear to be of one racial background. However they do carry the genes of both races.
This means that somewhere down the line if they mate with another person who carries mixed racial heritage then there is a chance of the traits surfacing again.

Is actor Alan Autry related to actor Gene Autry?
Yes, they are 1st cousins-once-removed. Alan Autry has a radio show on KYNO am. On Monday March 2, 2009 one of his guests asked if they were related. Alan said that he was told as a child that he was related to Gene. He did not know how or if it was true. When he was on In the Heat of the Night he received a phone call from someone in Gene's office. Gene wanted to know if they were related. Alan told them he did not know. Gene hired a genealogist to look into it and found that Alan's paternal grandfather and Gene's dad were brother's. Alan did not know much about his family history because he was raised by his mother Verna and stepfather. He did not meet his real dad Carl Autry until he was 28.
What skin color would the offspring of a mulatto and a white be?
the child could be any range of color. As a mulatto is of mixed race the child could come out either dark or light depending on which gene (dark or light) from the mulatto combines with the white gene.
How do people get Huntington's Disease?
HD is a genetic disease- you do not "catch it" from anyone. But is is inherited from a parent, just as you inherit hair color. One of the parents has a defective gene, which causes them to develop HD. If one of their children inherits that gene, they will also develop HD. However, if they do NOT inherit that gene, they cannot develop HD, and cannot pss it to their children.
If an individual expresses a dominant disease will the children always inherit the disease?
Not always. It depends if the individual is a hybrid- meaning they have both the dominant and the recessive gene. They can pass on the recessive gene instead of the dominant one, and assuming the other parents also passes on the recessive gene, the child will not inherit the disease.
Gene Kelly's role in Inherit The Wind?
Gene Kelly played as E.K. Hornbeck, the news reporter, in the 1960 movie, Inherit the Wind.
What is the chance of having twins if your grandmother and grandfather were both fraternal twins and your half sister had twins AND you have a half sis and half bro that are fraternal twins?
The mother carries the twin gene and can pass it onto her children. However, only her daughters can give birth to twins. Her sons can inherit the twin gene and pass that onto their daughters, who can give birth to twins. But her sons will only become fathers of twins if their wife has the twin gene. So the chances of having twins if your husband is a twin is not possible unless you have the gene. However, if your grandfather passed the gene to his daughter (your mother) and she passed the gene to you, then, yes you could have twins if your grandfather is a twin.
How does a person inherit a trait such as hair texture?
I think it's just a gene you inherit like any other
How is color blind inherited?
Males inherit the gene from their mothers.
How can the cycle of huntingtons disease stop?
People that MAY have Huntington's can have a genetic test- IF they are positive for HD, they may choose not to have children- and no one will inherit the gene that causes HD.
What is requires for a person to have sickle cell disease?
The person is homozygous for the trait
Can a person be a carrier of huntingtons disease and not show any symptoms?
Since HD is transmitted by a dominant gene, there are no "carriers", such as in sickle cell anemia. If you have HD, you can pass it along to your children. If you do not have HD, it cannot be passed on.
What is the Mode of inheritance hemophilia?
Transmitted by a dominant gene. If that gene is inherited from either parent, the offspring will develop HD. If the gene is NOT inherited, then the offspring will not have HD- AND cannot pass the gene to their offspring.
Why do African Americans get black circles around their toes?
I suppose they inherit it as a gene.
What is the percentage of people in the world have Huntington's disease?
Becasue HD is carried on a dominant gene. Unlike recessive gene diseases, where you would have to inherit the gene from BOTH parents, with a dominant gene disorder- well, you will inherit one of two genes from the parent with HD. One carries HD, the other does not. Odds are 1 out of two, or 50%. For each child born to that parent.
