Are there more recessive or more dominant abnormal genes? Explain why this is the case
What will be an ideal response
There are more recessive abnormal genes (not necessarily known disorders) than
dominant abnormal genes, because dominant disorders are generally not passed
down as recessive genes are. This is because most dominant disorders are severely
disabling and lead the affected individual to not reproduce.
