Answer:

In the dominant- recessive model of inheritance, the dominant allele fully suppresses the recessive allele. As a result, heterozygous individuals produced show the effect of the dominant trait in them. For the recessive trait to occur, both the alleles of the gene should be recessive in the organism.

In co- dominance model of inheritance, the dominant allele is not fully dominant over the recessive trait. As a result, heterozygous individuals show both the dominant and recessive characteristic in them. For a dominant trait to occur, both the alleles should be dominant. For a recessive trait to occur, both the alleles should be recessive.

Why is the existence of vestigial structures significant to the study of evolution?

Illusion [34]

it's kinda really complex you have animals like snakes evolution says they used to have legs how can this be proven? This is proven by vestigial structures as some snakes like certain pythons still have legs however, they are underdeveloped and are used for nothing. Whales have pelvis bones this may not seems special but it is because every chordate that has ever walked on land has one thing in common and that's a pelvis this along with other data gathered really concrete the idea of evolution into reality

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

If the cell is green, that would mean that it contains the pigment of chlorophyll (suggesting that it is a plant cell). In addition, a rigid cell wall means the cell is part of a stronger structure, so it is likely a plant cell.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The correct option is D. Drug-resistant populations of microbes arise when exposure to drugs selectively kills sensitive cells, allowing overgrowth of resistant cells.

Explanation:

Drug- resistance can be described as a mechanism through which an organism can overcome the effect of a drug.

Usually, exposure of a drug again and again to a population of microbes will make the microbes resistant to that drug. The cells of the microbes undergo some change to overcome the effect of that particular drug.

A population of drug-resistant microbes might occur when the sensitive microbes get killed by the drug and resistant strains remain alive.
