Certain types of scoliosis have genetic factors, some have no genetic input, and some are only from genetics. For example, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which makes up about 80 percent of all cases of scoliosis, is generally from a combination of both environmental factors (i.e. posture) and genetic predisposition.
can not be passed from generation to generation
Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder - which means it can skip a generation, but only if it is carried in the female line.A female can be a carrier of haemophilia, but a male cannot. This is because males only have one X chromosome, so if they have a defective X they will have the disorder. If a father has haemophilia, all of his daughters will also have haemophilia.
Recessive alleles are known for skipping a generation. This is because the phenotype associated with a recessive allele is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If one parent carries the allele but does not exhibit the trait, it can appear to "skip" a generation before being expressed.
Kyphosis and Scoliosis
I believe it is recessive, as my grandmother on my father's side had it, and my aunt on my mom's side did, too. Right now I am 12 years old and I have scoliosis and wear a back brace, and I have been called ot be a pediatric orthapedist specializing in scoliosis. I hope to find out the cause(s) of scoliosis as I learn more about it, and eventually open my own mediacl practice. :)

While gallbladder disease may have genetic components, it does not keep track of the last generation affected. It can "skip" a generation or affect the children of affected patients.
Yes it can vcaus
diabetes is not passed on

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
That is called a scoliosis. You can remember the 'S' shaped spine of Scoliosis.
scoliosis can not be prevented
Scoliosis is a descriptive term for a spinal condition. Scoliosis means curvature
It is possible to have multiple sets of multiples, and giving birth to multiples can also skip a generation. Hyper ovulation (the tendency to release multiple eggs during ovulation, increasing the chances of conceiving fraternal twins) is a factor in giving birth to twins.
