A defective allele is more likely to be eliminated from a population if it is dominant. This is because it is immediately exposed to the effects of selection, as only one copy of a dominant allele is needed for it's characteristic to be developed.
If an allele is recessive it can survive in a population as it is 'hidden' from selection by the presence of the corresponding dominant allele. It will only beexposed to selectionif an individual inherits the recessive allele from both parents. If the recessive allele is rare, the chances of two individuals with the allele mating could be quite small. In this way a defective recesssive allele could survive at low levels in a population.

Why do prokaryotes evolve rapidly compared to eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes evolve rapidly compared to eukaryotes because they have shorter generation times, larger population sizes, and higher mutation rates, allowing for quicker adaptation to changing environments.
Experts predict that a future disease outbreak will spread slowly rapidly because much of the worlds population lives in crowded urban areas?
The close proximity of people in crowded urban areas increases the likelihood of rapid disease transmission. High population density can facilitate the spread of infectious diseases and make containment efforts more challenging. Public health interventions must be efficient and timely to prevent a slow outbreak from escalating quickly in such environments.
Why has population grown so rapidly?
Our population has rapidly grown and is still rapidly growing because we keep getting more and more babies it is said that every 5 seconds a new person is born. This is the reason that we have so many people walking on this earth and if people keep reproducing then we will run out of space on the earth for them to live, also we will run out of natural resources and food.
Describe the differences between the age structure graphs of slowly growing and rapidly growing countries?
Slowly growing countries typically have a more uniform age distribution with a steady increase in population across different age groups. In contrast, rapidly growing countries often have a pyramid-shaped age structure with a larger proportion of younger individuals compared to older individuals. This reflects higher birth rates in rapidly growing countries leading to a larger population of children and youth.
What happen when an organism reproduces quickly what the population?
When an organism reproduces quickly, the population increases rapidly. This can lead to competition for resources like food and space, potentially causing overcrowding. In the long term, it can result in environmental degradation and increased vulnerability to disease or predation.
Why does your turn signal flash rapidly and your bulbs are working?
Your "turn solenoid" is defective.
What mutation has the greatest effect?
The mutation that has the greatest effect is one that is not only beneficial but that is heavily selected for by the environment. Ideally dominant as it will effect the population more rapidly than a recessive trait. Only traits that are selected for or against in a population change the frequency of the occurance of the alleles in the population.
As resources in a population become less available the population?
It decreases rapidly.
What are the highest to lowest growing population in the world?
The most rapidly increasing population is India the population is expected to overtake China by 2030. The most rapidly decreasing population is Latvia it's growth rate is -18.
In which country is the population likely to be increasing rapidly?
Kenya
What is a population called that reproduces rapidly and has a short life span?
r-selective population
What is the population of a Zimbabwe big-fingered frog?
1,370 is the current population, rapidly decreasing
About 500 years ago the world's population started to do what?
The population started to increase rapidly
What is population implosion?
It would be the opposite of a population explosion. The population would decrease drastically and rapidly instead of increasing.
Why world's population has increased rapidly in last hundred years and main problems will cause?

How rapidly is world population increasing?
food and water shortage
Why did the population of the middle colonies grow rapidly?
They had good farming
