Answer 1

In a gene pool, there are always fewer recessive alleles than dominant alleles.

In a gene pool, there are always fewer recessive alleles than dominant alleles. The gene pool refers to the total collection of alleles in a population. Recessive alleles are masked by dominant alleles and are only expressed in individuals who have two copies of the recessive allele.
