Recessive allele exhibits its trait only when paired with another recessive allele in a genetic cross.
A dominant genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring because only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed.

No, it's only a genetic human trait that is prevalent in some but not others.
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
Heritable, meaning that it can be passed down from one generation to the next through genetic inheritance. Without a genetic basis, natural selection would not be able to change the frequency of that trait in a population over time.
Some people may have only one kidney for several reasons, such as having a diseased or injured kidney removed, or donating a kidney to someone in a kidney transplant, or probably less likely might be that they were just born with only one.
A parent can learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder by looking at their own history. A genetic disorder is... da da da da! Genetic! so the traits of this disorder would be passed down through the generations. If both parents have family members with the trait or if the disorder is a dominant trait then there is a high chance of the disorder being passed down to the child. If the trait is recessive and only one parent has the genetic disorder in their family history then there are some pretty low chances of it being passed along to the child. Even if the trait is recessive, if both parents have the diorder in their history then there is about a 50% chance of the child having the disorder.

The remaining kidney actually picks up a lot of the workload of the removed kidney. That doesn't mean all of it, but it does compensate for it, which is why having only one kidney can take years off of your life, as the remaining kidney is having to work so much harder.
exhibits a new, unexpected trait not seen in either parent. The hairlessness trait is not present in the genetic makeup of the parents, suggesting it arose from a sudden genetic change. By observing this distinct trait only in one offspring, the breeder can confirm it as a mutation.
The trait of having a curved pinky is typically a dominant trait, meaning that it only requires one copy of the gene to be expressed. However, there may be other genetic or environmental factors that can influence the shape of a person's pinky finger.
