Question

if a recessive allele helps an organism reproduce but the dominant allele hinders reproduction which will be more common in a population?

Answer 1

Recessive allele because dominant allele hinders organisms from reproducing which means that there is lesser of it with dominant allele

Answer 2

Answer:

The recessive allele

Explanation:

Since the dominant allele hinders reproduction, individuals with the allele will gradually die and fade off from the population leaving those with the recessive-reproductive alleles to multiply and contribute more to the population.

The situation can also be viewed as a simple case of natural selection. Natural selection selects for the alleles that are best adapted to the environment, in this case, the recessive allele. The dominant allele gradually dies off the population.

The dominant allele will naturally hinders the existence of any population. Hence, if there is a population, the dominant allele will be rare in it.

The recessive allele will be more common in the population.
