It is possible that a recessive trait in a survey such as this one may have a greater total number than its dominant counterpart. Explain how that might happen in an investigation like this.

Answer 1

In such an investigation like this, it might happen that the recessive trait is more than dominant trait making the recessive trait to be the dominant one due to its high rate of occurrences and the dominant one will be the recessive one die to low probability of occurring.

This situation can also happen where there is higher occurrences of recessive alleles than dominant ones as in autosomal dominance and autosomal recessiveness and / or x-linked recessiveness and x-linked dominance.
