Yes - recessive alleles can be eliminated from the gene pool.
However, heterozygous individuals (those with one recessive allele) are harder to identify if the allele is recessive, so if talking about artificial (selective) breeding, the process may take some time.

Mendelev worked with pea plants. He had pure bred red flowers that means they were homozygous for the red allele; pure bred white flowers were homozygous for the white flowering allele. When he crossed them he found that all of the offspring were red but when he interbred these second generation flowers he got 75% red and 25% white flowers. These third generation white flowers were homozygous for the recessive white allele.

When an individual have two identical alleles for the same trait it is called?
Having two similar alleles for a trait is called being homozygous. It is possible to be homozygous for a dominant or recessive trait.
What is the difference between a herezygous and a homozygous?
"Heterozygous" and "homozygous" are terms that refer to alleles, which, in genetics determine what trait, from which parent, will appear in the offspring. Alleles can be either Dominant or Recessive. Every organism has two alleles, which can both be dominant, both recessive, or one of each.So,If an organism heterozygous, it has one recessive and one dominant allele.If an organism is homozygous then both of its alleles are the same; you need to specify if they are homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive) or homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant).
What are the three different combinations of alleles?
If the gene for a trait has two alleles, one dominant (D) and one recessive (d) there are three possible combinations in the genotype: DD (homozygous dominant) Dd (heterozygous) dd (homozygous recessive)
What is the result of two recessive alleles joined?
Two recessive alleles (homozygous) will result in the recessive trait being expressed as a phenotype.
What is homozygous-?
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.

What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
What is it when you have a gene pair that consist of two dominate alleles and two recessive alleles?
The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.

What are the letters for homozygous dominant heterozygous and homozygous recessive?
homozygous dominant means two alleles that are the same that are capital letters, heterozygous recessive means that to alleles are different BUT the same letters in lower case. (alleles for gender) EX: TT, Tt is homozygous dominant tt, tt is heterozgous recessive
What is homozygous-?
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
What is the gene pair consit of dominant alleles or to two recessive alleles?
homozygous
Gene pair that consists of two dominant alleles or two recessives alleles?
Homozygous Dominant or Homozygous Recessive, accordingly.
A homozygous genotype where both alleles are recessive are called?
A recessive gene refers to an allele which is only seen in homozygous genotype.
All individuals that show a recessive trait are?
recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait
