The missing box will have genotype Tt

The phenotype will be tasters for PTC as TT, Tt

Explanation:

The taste of PTC is determined by the alleles on the PTC gene. It is a dominant trait. Those who are able to taste PTC have dominant alleles of TT (Homozygous or Tt Heterozygous).

Those having recessive gene tt are said to be non-tasters.

Those with the dominant allele in their PTC gene will find the taste of PTC bitter.

Those with the recessive allele in their PTC gene will find the taste of PTC as tasteless.

Thus genetic make-up of the individual decides their taste. The Phenotype can be either tasters or non-tasters.

TT, Tt (tasters)

tt ( non-tasters)

This follows Mendel's Law of Dominance.

Ever heard that kids are naturals when it comes to learning a language? Or maybe you know someone who gets easily discouraged from attending a second language course because they say they’re too old. Whatever you might have heard about this, whether you can remember or not, I’m positive it’s related to one of the most famous linguistics debates, which has been around since the 1960s.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

e. bacteria producing vitamin K

Explanation:

Microbial antagonism basically refers as microbes versus microbes i-e the indigenous microflora serve a beneficial role by preventing other microbes from becoming established in or colonizing a particular anatomic location in the body.

As all the options mentioned, refers to the microbial antagonism except option E as the normal microbes protect the host by :

1) Producing acids.

2) Bactreocin production

3) By occupying the niches that the pathogens may occupy.

But the microbes cant compete with other microbes by  producing vitamins and growth factors that can be utilized by the host.

Hence option E is the right answer.
