A student claims that dominant traits are always the most common traits. Is this true? Why or why not?(1 point)

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 only show up if they are inherited; how common they are is not influenced by this.

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 are not always the most common traits. Dominant traits may be less common in a population, but they are expressed when present due to their dominant nature over recessive traits. It is possible for recessive traits to be more common in a population but remain hidden if not expressed.
