Did I get a recessive gene? and how would I know?

I'm kind of worried I may pass it to my kids.

    You probably got a recessive gene, you would know if you exhibited symptoms or conditions or other indicators that are the result of a recessive gene.

    A recessive gene is not always a bad thing - red hair and freckles are from a recessive gene.

    I am sure that you did get some.  Are they anything which could be harmful is the real question, and most are not.  You can get tested for some genes like the cystic fibrosis gene.  That runs in my family, unfortunately.

    you probably have hundreds. Those you have twice you will pass on to any kid you make, those you have once you may pass on.
