A recessive trait can become more prevalent in a population through processes like genetic drift, founder effect, or natural selection favoring individuals carrying the recessive trait. Over time, these mechanisms can lead to an increase in the frequency of the recessive trait within the population.

How long does it take for a trait to manifest in a population?
The time it takes for a trait to manifest in a population can vary depending on factors such as the trait's heritability, selective pressures, and the population size. In some cases, a trait can appear relatively quickly through natural selection if it provides a significant advantage. However, in other cases, it might take many generations for a trait to become prevalent in a population.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
Is albinism a dominant or recessive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
What type of trait prevents the other type from being seen?
A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.
What happens to the recessive genes over successive generations?
Recessive genes can persist in a population over successive generations, even if they are not expressed phenotypically, since individuals can be carriers (heterozygous) without showing the trait. If two carriers mate, there is a chance that their offspring can inherit two copies of the recessive gene and express the trait. Over time, if the recessive trait confers a disadvantage or is not favored by natural selection, its frequency may decrease. Conversely, if the trait offers some advantage or if carriers have a reproductive advantage, the recessive gene can become more prevalent in the population.
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
Why is it possible that a majority of people may display a recessive trait?
It is possible for many people to display a recessive trait because the people have two recessive genes. Dominant simply means it will trump a recessive gene, it does not mean it is the most widely seen gene in a species.
Is righ-handedness dominant or recessive?
recessive...almost everyone i know is right-handed Population size does not always correlate with dominance and recessiveness. Dwarfism, which is dominant, is not prevalent in the population It could, however, be recessive, if right-handedness is dominant

Is leukemia a dominant or recessive gene?
It depends on the family but I assume that its a recessive gene.
Is diabetes dominant or recessive trait?
It is a recessive trait
Is albinism a dominant or recessive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait.
What a recessive trait?
A recessive trait is a trait that is not dominant, and is not really seen in ones phenotype.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
