The correct response is: No, dominant traits in general tend to be less common in the population and continue to persist only because they are dominant over more common recessive alleles.
Dominance refers to the relationship between alleles, where a dominant allele masks the expression of a recessive one in a heterozygous individual. However, the frequency of traits in a population is influenced by various factors, including genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, and other evolutionary processes. As a result, dominant traits can be less common despite their dominant nature, and recessive traits can be more prevalent in specific populations.
