Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.

Explain what happened genetically in the insect population.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

as insects became exposed to pyrethroids, toxicity of pyrethroids weakened over time. which means that Most insects had the allele for pyrethroid resistance, but it remained masked. The allele for said pyrethroid resistance, evidently increased throughout the population.

What is ATP, and when is energy released from it? ​
Misha Larkins [42]

ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate. ATP consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to 3 phosphate groups in a row. This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate ( ADP ) uses the energy released during cellular respiration bond with a 3rd phosphate group, becoming a molecule of ATP
