MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION

A dominant trait is NOT always the more common trait because

there are many of them and they show up frequently

1 answer

The correct answer is:

sometimes the dominant allele is rare ~ so it rarely shows up.

This is because dominance refers to the relationship between alleles, not their frequency in the population. A dominant allele can be rare while being expressed whenever present.
