Answer:   Certain traits increase in frequency in a population because when recombination occurs during sexual reproduction, genes are usually shuffled so that each parent gives its offspring a random assortment of its genetic variation, so the frequency of a gene may increase in a population through this genetic variation. One quote from a source I read states, "When recombination occurs during sexual reproduction, genes are usually shuffled so that each parent gives its offspring a random assortment of its genetic variation. However, genes that are close together on the same chromosome are often assorted together. Therefore, the frequency of a gene may increase in a population through genetic hitchhiking if its proximal genes confer a benefit."(lumen) This quotes explains why certain traits increase in frequency in a population.

Certain traits increase in frequency in a population because they have dominant traits.

What is dominant phenotype?

What is dominance? We say that an allele is dominant when it manages to determine a phenotype, even if it occurs in a single dose. This means that the dominant allele will express itself in both homzygosity and heterozygosity. Dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype, even in a single dose.

With this information, we can conclude that certain traits increase in frequency in a population because they have dominant traits.
