Mucus would most likely accumulate in the respiratory tract as a result of ciliary destruction.

Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. A severe hacking cough is followed by the a high-pitched breath intake that sounds like "whoop" in many people. Before the vaccine, whooping cough was thought to be a childhood disease. Whooping cough now primarily affects children who have not received the full course of vaccinations, as well as teenagers and adults whose immunity has waned.

Deaths from whooping cough are uncommon, but most commonly occur in infants. That is why it is critical for pregnant women and others who will have close contact with an infant to be immunized against whooping cough. The best way to avoid pertussis is to get vaccinated. Check that you and your loved ones have received their pertussis vaccines.

Shark pups with the most advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. For example, pups that can hunt and feed
Ronch [10]

The answer is B. This is called genetic shift. The pups with advantageous traits are able to survive until the age of reproduction hence able to pass their genes to the next generation. Few and fewer pups with disadvantageous traits will get to reproduce hence the allelic frequencies of the shark population will shift in favour of increased hunting efficiency.

Mendel proposed that each individual carries forms of a gene for a given character, which are called alleles, and that the allel
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

either one of the two alleles  in a diploid individual.

Explanation:

A trait is expressed only when two alleles pair up. Thus, an allele pair during cell division assort independently into two individual alleles so that each gamete receive one of the two allele

For example  

During gamete formation XX and XY allele pairs divide to contribute one allele to each gamete respectively.

Thus, XX allele pair will divide to give X gene to both the gamete

And XY pair will divide to give X gene to one gamete and Y gene to other gamete
