Most genetic diseases are caused by recessive alleles. Why? (1 point)
A) Recessive alleles are never expressed, so they confer no disadvantage to survival.
B) Dominant alleles that cause disease are removed from the population over time, but recessive alleles can
persist indefinitely in the population.
C) Genetic diseases occur only in heterozygous gene pairings.
D) The statement is untrue. Genetic diseases are most commonly caused by dominant alleles
