prin	Heard abt recessive genes. Occurs if and only one of d parents has 'blk' genes even if it 1%. Again, u may wanna check ur dokta, so he can fill u in. Probably ur baby has some hypodermal disease, or sth. well, good. I believe jerome did a lot more dan mowing, and u did alot of askin Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lipstick	its not a case of "me myself and irene" is it? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ShySweetNSassy	the only way i have ever heard of that occuring is if there is black in the blood. i have heard of recessive genes wheen it comes to the dark hair. but if you mean complexion.. hmmm.. unless he has a disease heaven forbid research your heritage and see what's up Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bree	LoL i think you got screwed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

(:♥TayLee♥:)	lol, you nut Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

catdaviesca	Well, yes, but how far back are you talking here? I'd be a bit suspicious if no one on either side knows of any black relatives. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shorty	i dont think that could happen if both of you are white. unless someone in ya'll family what actually black. but even then i still dont think that could happen. the only way that, that could happend is if your wife cheated on you with a black man. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

turtle girl	Well, i could be mistaken but it seems as though your lovely betrothed dropped down and got her eagle on (flap yer wings, flap yer wings) and ye ol Jerome checked out her funky monkey. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mr World	sorry to say that your wife is cheating with u she do a sex with black man Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dwh12345	Sounds like your wife had sex with a black guy..Do a blood test Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

monkeyface	Simple reason. The child is not yours. Have a DNA test. Blonde parents can have a brunette child but I have never heard of 2 white parents having a black child. Please let us know what transpires after the DNA test. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chopperscott23	Ouch.. sorry to say this my friend, but your wife cheated with the mail man, or a co-worker. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jfahd	you are funny! Good one. By 'recessive genes' you mean, I was out of town and Jerome had fun. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brutally Honest	Do you remember a TV star named Dinah Shore? Most people don't (you have to be at least 35 - maybe older). Well, there's this story that circulated about her giving birth to a black baby as well, and it was due to the "recessive gene" theory. Personally, I don't believe it, but the theory goes that a person can carry a "dormant" gene for such things as hair, eye & skin color, and once every dozen gernations or so, it become "active" and a baby is born with some sort of aboration that is not typical to either parent or general extended family (grandparents, cousins, etc). My advice to you, my friend is to go get some genetic testing done. Sure it will PISS your wife off to no end, but until you have a confirmed answer on paternity, I would continue to push the issue.

rjd1425	cross check DNA of black friends of the wife Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jemima k	Okay, maybe.... you might not be the real father, and your wifey is trying to cover it up... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

steph	i think darker skin is a dominant trait.. but i could be wrong.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

leigha	I have heard some kind of tale about this and genes from way back, but dont know if its true one or an old excuse, you should have a test to confirm if baby is yours, to put your mind at rest one way or another. Does anyone know of any black family blood person on your wifes side. It is very very rare if at all possible i would say. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hunterlm84	I didn't think that was possible. Maybe you're woman cheated on you with a black guy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kristinhyde	Were you the couple on the Maurey show?? Honey...she cheated...sorry Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bumblebee_chola	your wife must've sunbathed nude and exposed her belly in the sun too long,so the ultraviolet rays penetrated through the placenta.that explains the suntan that your dark-skinned baby boy has.need not worry,just apply non-allergenic white face powder and he'll look just like you:) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

neil r	Whats with redheads these days? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cookin'gal	LMAO I agree with Igwat...kick Jerome's ***! No, seriously, you might want to SERIOUSLY consider a blood test. I mean, Im a blonde and both of my parents are brunettes...but my grandma is also a blonde. If you or your wife dont have black relatives, someone screwed around on you. Dont be so naiive! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kristenteagle	sorry, but red hair is the recessive"white" gene, so if there was any "black" genetics in her gene pool, it would have been there for you to see, since redheads are very rare, it has to be very strong for it to present itself externally... that means there was a lot of red hair in her family gene pool... if there was black genetics it would have overrode it & she would show some dark skin or hair...(I dont want to get too technical here.... sorry) black genes dont just "pop up" racially... yes, it looks like your wife had an affair, sorry to say... I would go get a DNA test & you will see if you are the father or not. she will be the mother of course, but you can tell if you are the father or not (who that is is another story...) sorry, dude. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TiNa	anythings possible...nothing surprising...a baby could look like the person the mother first sees in the morning..or the person the mother idolises could even be a celeb...dunno just heard this ..as starnge as it sounds lolz Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

girl_wonders	DNA test is the only way ..! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stall_out	http://afrigeneas.com/forum/index.cgi?noframes;read=57943 RACE MIXING AND THE “THROWBACK” GENE In a practical example, if a pure Black breeds with a pure White, the offspring might emerges with a new "mutant" recessive allele (a), being heterozygous (i.e., along with a more dominant one, represented by "Ab"). If that mixed race individual then marries back into the White genotype pool, statistically, only half that person’s progeny will carry (a), and only half of the next generation. A mutant allele may simply disappear or it may propagate out through many generations before it reappears through mixing with another individual who also carries that same allele. Only then will the phenotype appear – this is known popularly known as the “throwback gene.” It may take many generations before a particular combination of alleles (mutant or otherwise) appears. Such a “throwback” will increase the (aa) population locally, and even more when (aa) males start mating with (aa) females, making it possible for an (aa) type to expand in numbers. http://www.stormfront.org/whitehistory/mendel.htm Here is an example of a black child being born from white parents for those of you that don't believe it can happen http://www.geocities.com/kempcountrymen/sandralaing.htm Was this answer helpful to you?

Grinner5000	Yeah, it'll be on your wifes side. Most Irish people are black nowadays. It's acommon misconception that they're all pale redheaded dimwits. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

iggwad ™	Seems to me that Jerome is mowing more than the lawn. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
