Kemo Sabe, i have a question for you.

A student claims that dominant traits are always the most common traits. Is this true? Why or why not?\

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.

No, dominant traits only show up if they are inherited; how common they are is not influenced by this.

Yes, dominant traits are called dominant because they are the most common.

No, dominant traits being more common is not necessarily the case. Dominant traits can actually be less common in a population compared to recessive traits. The frequency of traits in a population is influenced by various factors such as selection pressure, genetic drift, and mutation rates, rather than simply being determined by whether they are dominant or recessive. So, it is not accurate to say that dominant traits are always the most common traits.

okay, Kemo Sabe. choose one of the asnwers i provided

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.

is this true, Kemo Sabe?

Yes, that statement is true. Dominant traits can be less common in a population compared to recessive traits. Their presence and persistence is due to their dominance over recessive alleles, rather than their frequency in the population.
