What's the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes are always unicellular and eukaryotes are multi-cellular.
What is a major disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
Lack of diversity.
Neither, just because dominant traits overpower recessive traits doesn't mean they're more common.
