In this case, it is given that <em>Mycoplasma pneumoniae </em>lacks cell wall. some antibiotics such as penicillin works by interfering the synthesis of the cell walls. As these microbes do not have cell wall, the penicillin like antibiotics would not work.

In this case, the antibiotics, which interferes with the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) formation and replication can work. The ciproflaxin is an antibiotic, which work by inactivating the enzyme required for DNA replication in bacteria. Hence, the antibiotic ciproflaxin would be effective for treating the given condition.

A boy received one dominant allele for brown hair from his father and a recessive allele for blonde hair from his mother. ​Which
Damm [24]

Well say the father had the genotype BB (dominant brown) and his mom had the genotype bb (recessive blonde).

If the boy got only one allele of brown hair and his phenotype is brown hair, then his genetic type is Bb

He is heterozygous (has two different alleles). But since brown hair is dominant, his phenotype is brown hair. But he does have the blonde recessive allele.

Hope this helps!
