Question

dominant genetic disorders are more common than recessive genetic disorders.
true
false

Explanation:

Recessive genetic disorders are more common than dominant ones. This is because for a recessive disorder, an individual needs to inherit two copies of the mutant allele (one from each parent), while for a dominant disorder, only one copy is needed. However, dominant disorders are often more severe and may lead to reduced fitness or early - onset symptoms that can prevent the affected individual from passing on the allele. In contrast, recessive disorders can be carried silently (heterozygous state) and only manifest when two carriers have children.

Answer:

FALSE
