Reply to comment by p251 in ELI5: How come recessive genes don't die out? by JackytheWriter
OP can ask a followup question if they want. Otherwise, I'd be writing an essay explaining a bunch of things that aren't really related just to make the point they aren't related.
"Recessive alleles aren't selected out because there's nothing about recessivity that inherently carries selection disadvantage" is a perfectly fine point to start with.
