A rare trait is a characteristic that is not commonly found within a population. For example, heterochromia, where an individual has two different colored eyes, is considered rare in humans. Such traits can arise from genetic variations or mutations and may be influenced by environmental factors. Their rarity often makes them particularly intriguing both scientifically and aesthetically.

Is it rare to have a dad with blue and a mom with brown and yours be blue?

Blue eyes are known to be a recessive genetic trait, or a trait that is not commonly found. Because your dad has blue eyes, it means that he also has the "blue eye" trait in his gene. An offspring (you in this case) can get that same "blue eye" trait as well as traits from your mom. Although it is more common to get other dominant trait, such as brown, you got blue. I wouldn't say it is rare but it is definitely uncommon.

What is the likelihood of inheriting a genetic trait with more than two alleles, and how does the presence of multiple alleles impact the expression of the trait?

The likelihood of inheriting a genetic trait with more than two alleles is rare. When a trait has multiple alleles, it can result in a wider range of possible expressions of that trait. This can lead to more variation in the phenotype among individuals who inherit different combinations of alleles for that trait.

Yes, a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait if it is expressed and not masked by a dominant gene. In cases where the individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene, the trait will be expressed.

What sample size is required from a very large population to estimate a population proportion within?

The answer depends on how rare or common the selected trait is. For something that is very rare, you will need a much larger sample to get a reasonable estimate of proportion.
