How is artificial selection against a genetic disorder predicted to affect the disease incidence in the autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive cases,respectively?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In autosomal dominant disorders, removing individuals or preventing them from reproducing can rapidly decrease the incidence of the disorder because only one copy of the mutant allele is needed for the disorder to be expressed. In autosomal recessive disorders, carriers who are phenotypically normal but have one copy of the allele can still pass it on, so the incidence decreases more slowly as it takes more generations to significantly reduce the number of carriers in the population.
