When selection is acting against a recessive allele in a population, it takes a very long time to eliminate the recessive allele from the population even when it is at low frequency. Why is this? (consult page 204 - page 205 for help) The recessive allele is effectively hidden because it is almost always paired with a dominant allele The recessive allele is exposed because it is almost always paired with a dominant allele The recessive allele is always at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium The recessive allele is exposed because it is almost always paired with another recessive allele
