Answer:

It is almost impossible to totally eliminate recessive alleles from a population, because if the dominant phenotype is what is selected for, both AA and Aa individuals have that phenotype.

Which process is most likely to result in a gene providing antibiotic resistance to be found in a viral genome

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

<em><u>There are two important types of genetic mechanisms that can give rise to antibiotic resistance: mutation and acquisition of new genetic material. In the case of mutation, the rate at which resistance develops can be attributed to the rate at which bacteria mutate.</u></em>

The ability to curl one's tongue into a U-shape is a genetic trait. Curlers always have at least one curler parent but noncurler

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

A noncurler has a genotype cc.

Explanation:

If curlers always have at least one curler parent, it is possible being "curler" will be related to a dominant allele, in this example, "C". So, being "noncurler" could be a recessive trait. Noncurler can have one or both parents who are curlers, and this is concordant with a recessive inheritance if both parents are heterozygous (Cc) (with a probability of 25% of being "noncurler"). Also, it is possible if one parent is heterozygous and the other is homozygous for c (Cc x cc), this with a probability of 50% ob being "noncurler".

The Punnett square shows this clearly.
