Answer:

b. The two bacterial strains have different phenotypes.

Explanation:

In genetics, the trait that is expressed is often referred to as the dominant trait and it can also be expresssed phenotypically.

Since one of the bacteria produces the inducer, it therefore means that bacteria has the dominant strain for the regulatory inducer while the other bacteria might have the strain but since it is not expressed phenotypically, it is as a result not dominant.

Phenotype refers to the physical appearance of an organism as a result of the interaction of its genes with the environment. Examples of phenotypic expresssions are hair colour, skin colour, height, etc.

<span>The answer is B. 72.25 percent.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>

<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1 </em>and <em>p + q = 1</em>

where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq</em> are the frequencies of the genotypes.

<span>The <em>p</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15

To calculate the <em>P</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula <em>p + q = 1</em> can be used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85

Knowing the frequency of the <em>P</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the frequency of the <em>PP </em>genotype (<em>p²</em>):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>

Hook was the first to describe microorganisms accurately. true false
NeTakaya
I believe that the best answer for this question is false. The individual who was the first to describe microbes was Antonie van Leeukwenhoek. He is considered to be the Father of Microbiology and the first microbiologist. Hook was actually his contemporary. I hope this helps.
