An allele becomes fixed in a population when it reaches a frequency of 100%, i.e.,when every individual in the population has only this allele.

Is there any evidence that the traits shared by most of the population is not controlled by a dominant allele explain?

If the allele is beneficial then recessive alleles will drive to fixation in the population. Sickle cell trait is a fair example of this.

An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?

It should be a dominant allele--a dominant allele's trait will be expressed over the recessive allele's trait.


What is a dominent allele?

A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.

What must individuals with a trait do in order for evolution to occur in the population?

The trait must be in the germ line, it mist be passed on t progeny who thrive well enough to pass it on in an amplified manner, it must be beneficial, that is confer reproductive advantage and then the frequency of this allele must come to fixation in the populations gene pool. Then evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms has occurred.
