Fifty years ago, bed bugs were nearly eliminated in the United States by using of pesticides like DDT. Today bed bugs are back i

n beds and theaters. DDT is no longer used due to environmental issues. Pyrethrums are currently the top choice for bed bug infestations. Pyrethrums are especially useful to us because they generally have a stronger effect on bugs than on humans and animals. Some bed bugs had mutations in their genetic code which allowed them to survive the chemical pesticide and they produced chemically resistant offspring. How can this be explained?
A) mutations were planned out by the bugs
B) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had the mutation
C) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had no mutations
D) mutations involved the genetic variation of the bugs are random

in lab micr the short tail phenotype is fominant to wild long assuming tail length is controlled by a single locus a likely expl
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The answer is "Option e".

Explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

Its long tail disregards its short tail. Let's assume that even a short neck is a as well as a tail over, which claim, though, the short tails were mixed, shorter, and longer tailed mousses are created. It may also presume that the short mouse parental is always Aa. And we get AA, Aa, Aa, Aa, and Aa situations once their matter and they fall pregnant to both high and short tail mice but we wouldn't get the fat tail mouse unless the tail-mouse were as AA.

we always get two types of lines. It demonstrates there was no uniform AA genera. It is a case of the heterozygous dangerous gene, that can cause a set of identical alleles inside an organism to always be lethal.
