Some of the relatively more common genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, thalassaemia and sickle-cell disease, are passed on in this way.

Geneticists call these genes recessive because they usually have no effect unless paired with a similarly mutated gene from the other parent."
I asked "We both have brown hair, is it possible that our child could be a red head/ginger?" He replied "Humans are descended from Chimpanzees, due to our biological blueprint our genes are only compatible with like species, that is why we do not see two different species cross breeding, therefore your child would only inherit red/ginger hair if both of you were descended from Orang-utans.�

I found this form of humour to be offensive and inappropriate. Is this a form of malpractice?
Were you specifically wanting a red/ginger haired child so that you could later sue because of the milkman jokes

Further more did the doctor find out if either one of you had any abnormal genes because I'm guessing yes on that one
