>From the Bloomsbury chat:

"How exactly do muggleborns receive magical ability?
JKR: Muggle-borns will have a witch or wizard somewhere on their family 
tree, in some cases many, many generations back. The gene re-surfaces 
in some unexpected places."

So on the surface, the magical gene appears to be a recessive gene.
