When weight transfer occurs in a front-wheel drive car during acceleration does this mean that the rear of the car becomes heavier than the front?

During forward acceleration on any vehicle (front wheel drive or otherwise), more of the vehicles weight is transferred to the rear of the car, making the rear of the car heavier. This is undesirable in a front wheel drive car because there is less weight over the drive wheels to produce traction (causing the front wheels to spin)
