A student claims that dominant traits are always the most common traits. Is this true? Why or why not?(1 point) Responses Yes, dominant traits are called dominant because they are the most common. Yes, dominant traits are called dominant because they are the most common. 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. 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. Yes, dominant traits became more common over time as they are passed down from generation to generation; recessive alleles continue to become less common over time. Yes, dominant traits became more common over time as they are passed down from generation to generation; recessive alleles continue to become less common over time. No, dominant traits only show up if they are inherited; how common they are is not influenced by this.
No, dominant traits can vary in frequency depending on the specific trait and population. Some dominant traits may be more common, but this is not always the case. The frequency of a trait in a population is influenced by various factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow, rather than simply whether it is dominant or recessive.
