if the recessive trait is more than dominant, then the recessive trait will actually become dominant and the dominant trait will become recessive.

well i am not sure, but i was wondering if the question needs to adress the issue of autosomal dominance and autosomal recessiveness and/or x-linked recessiveness and x-linked dominance. because in this case(autosomal and x-linked recessiveness), there will be more recessive alleles than dominant ones
