How many generations can a dwarf gene be carried if you marry normal height people?
If your parents are dwarves but you came out normal and marry normal and have normal kids, the dwarf gene is still in your kids. If your kids and generations later continue to marry and birth normal, is the dwarf gene completely wiped out? Or can it still pop up in a child hundreds of years later?

- it can still pop up its in the dna
- genetics is pretty much forever.
- you have a 25% chance of being "normal" and you ahve a 50% chance of being a carrier if you are a carrier it can go on and on yes it can pop up 100 years later but i doubt that
- Yes it can pop up. We also see the dwarf gene being expressed as simply much shorter than average height. In other words, you could be a tall guy with a dwarf gene, and even if the mother of your child is a six foot tall woman from a family of six foot tall women, you could have a 4'7" daughter or a 5'1" son....taller than a dwarf but still showing the gene a bit.
