Blue People of Troublesome Creek

Tracking The Blue Skin Trait.

Fugate Family

What Is The Trait You Tracked?

Trait Tracked

I tracked the blue skin trait, and I tracked it for five generations. I believe this trait is recessive because the blue tint went on for nearly 162 years and at least one child had the blue tint even if they didn't show it. It also says "The two settled and had seven children, all of whom inherited Martin and Elizabeth’s rare recessive gene." and "Four of the children visibly showed this gene with their blue skin." So that confirms that the blue skin trait is recessive because every child has the trait, but some don't show it.

Cause Of Tint

Is the blue skin trait affected by the environment or is it something else?

Cause For Tint

I believe that it is two things, I think it is the environment and the fact that in the past there was inbreeding which causes a lot of physical mutations.

Enviroment

Enviroment

I think that one of the things that factor into the blue skin trait is the Enviroment. I believe this because "As the family began moving out of the holler, there were less and less blue people being born until Benjy was born. Benjamin Fugate was one of the last blue Fugates born, although the gene continues to be passed from generation to generation, the chances of the effects being seen are decreasing with each new generation" meaning that something in Troublesome Creek was making the Blue Skin trait show up more than when the family started moving out. I think as the family continues less and less children will get the trait where it becomes even more rare than it already is.

Inbreeding

Inbreeding

I think that inbreeding had less of an effect on the Blue Skin Trait, but I do think it had an effect because inbreeding causes mutautions it may not always harm people but it causes abnormal traits to appear. Even if Luna had a child and they still had the Blue Skin Trait it would be breaking the genepool.But their could be a chancethat before her child the Environment and Inbreeding could have an effect on the skin.

Probibilty &Percent

In the article it says "There is only a twenty five percent chance of the child being blue, as long as their parent does not carry two recessive genes"
