s. Which is the MOST LIKELY benefit of this treatment? A. The genetic variation of the population decreases, allowing the bacteria to be easier to kill. B. The genetic variation of the population increases, and some of the mutants may have useful properties. C. Many bacterial genes are deactivated, making the bacteria less harmful. D.

NemiM [27]

The number of new cases of a particular disease contracted within a defined population in a specified period is referred to as the incidence of the disease.

Population is defined as a group of similar type of organisms. This group of  organisms live in the same area, they require same resources, have similar types of habits. The most essential criteria is that they can breed and reproduce among themselves.

Incidence of a disease is the data that provides information about the number of people affected by a disease at a given period of time. The likelihood of a person getting affected by the disease can be estimated using incidence.

Katyanochek1 [597]
Selective logging—the practice of removing one or two trees and leaving the rest intact—is often considered a sustainable alternative to clear-cutting, in which a large swath of forest is cut down, leaving little behind except wood debris and a denuded landscape

In a population fulfilling all the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium, allelic frequencies:
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A. will not change from generation to generation.  

Explanation:

For a population in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation and remain constant. This occurs when:

-The population is large enough.

-Individuals of the population exhibit random mating .

-No evolutionary force (natural selection, mutation, gene flow, etc.) is operative on the population.

Under these conditions, the allele frequencies of the population are not changed and the population is said to be in "Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium".
