Why did the recessive nature of the Piebald gene initially slow its proliferation after its discovery?
Answer
It requires inheriting the gene from both parents to be expressed visually.
Unlike dominant genes, recessive traits require dedicated pairing strategies to ensure both parents contribute the gene, which historically slowed the trait's spread.
