Noteworthy here is that Ruthie's children have barely a hint of African American, YOU would not know that they had it in their blood upon site. Ruthie you can tell immediately upon site.
My point here is this can happen in dog world too, I am not a fool I can look at Minnie and tell what she is NOT, don't tell me what I CAN clearly see (not a Yorkie), test results or not this pup is clearly mixed with something down the line. |
I understand what you are saying... I was explaining recessive genes to my dd the other day... She was having a hard time understand how two brown eye parents can have a blue eye child but not two blue eye parents a brown eye child.
So.... recessive genes can be carried many generations and will show up only with another recessive gene. My question on your "human" example ... what was the father's gene pool?
