The ability to roll the tongue in humans is coded by the dominant allele R. The inability to roll the tongue is coded by the rec

The allele combination that could occur in the zygote is Rr.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A diploid parent contributes one allele of a gene to the gamete. Thus the gametes in human reproduction will be haploid so as to maintain the diploid nature of the zygote. In the given question both parents are homozygous and the inheritance follows Mendel’s laws.

The dominant allele is represented by the letter R and the recessive allele is represented by the letter r. One parent is homozygous dominant which means both the alleles in that parent is dominant and the genotype will be RR. The other parent is homozygous recessive with the genotype rr.

The cross can be represented as  

RR   \times     rr

Rr     Rr      Rr      Rr

All the progenies will have the genotype Rr and will be dominant and possess the ability to roll the tongue.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The phenomenon that explains the trend seen in the data is that the mosquitoes' evolution has led them to develop resistance to the compound.

Explanation:

This is a very common factor that we can see in insects. The effect of DDT on the species will have different levels of impact. One is going to be more vulnerable to the compound that the rest. However, after many times of exposition to the compound, a few survivors will develop resistance to the compound and their offspring is going to inherit that resistance. Making them increase the resistance over time.
