Oh. Hm. Well, I was speaking with Her Highness in mind so my analogies were based solely around phenotypes which affect reproductive fitness and the genes which would influence them. Which would make for terrible scientific theory if you applied it to genetics in general I guess.

I do get that just because a gene is dominant doesn't mean it's more common, simply expressed more. Recessives by the same logic aren't less common. However when you throw in phenotypic consequences, incomplete/semi-dominance and the like then stuff gets more complicated.

Er. Yeah, let's not have science. We'll just assume that if they can do magic they can fiddle around with the genome and smooth out any complications.
