Yes
No, the presence of 4 recessive genes cannot result in a dominant gene. Dominant genes are expressed when at least one copy of the dominant allele is present, masking the effects of any recessive alleles.

The type of trait that can be masked is known as a recessive trait. In genetics, recessive traits require two copies of the recessive allele (one from each parent) to be expressed phenotypically, while a dominant allele can overshadow or mask the expression of the recessive allele. As a result, individuals with one dominant and one recessive allele will display the dominant trait, concealing the presence of the recessive trait.
Chromosomal mutations can be either dominant or recessive, depending on the specific mutation and how it affects the expression of genes on the altered chromosome. Some chromosomal mutations can lead to a dominant phenotype if they result in the duplication or gain of genetic material, while others can lead to a recessive phenotype if they result in the loss or deletion of genetic material.
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. It can result from two carriers having a child together.

It's actually just heterozygous. That means that one allele is dominant and one allele is recessive. The result is a dominant trait, but the recessive gene may come back in future generations.
In classic genetics: AA or Aa for autosomal dominance; for sex-linked dominance, females will need XX or Xx, while males will need Xy It gets more complicated with epistasis and other factors that modulate the genes.
A 3:1 phenotypic ratio (Mendelian inheritance).
A gene with one completely dominant allele and two recessive alleles can produce two different traits. The dominant allele will express its trait regardless of whether it is paired with another dominant or a recessive allele, while the two recessive alleles will express their trait only when paired together. Therefore, the possible combinations of alleles result in one dominant trait and one recessive trait.
