Answer:
DD or Dd
Explanation:
Dimples is the dominant trait (D). Your friend has dimples so that means he or she should have at least one allele of the dominant trait to express that trait. So your friend would either be homozygous dominant (DD) or heterozygous dominant (Dd). Notice that there is a recessive allele in the second. Even with that present, dimples would be still expressed.
Answer:
Opportunistic, endogenous pathogen
Explanation:
Opportunistic infection is an infection that is caused by the microbes that are otherwise the component of one's own normal microbiota. Under particular conditions, the microbes become pathogenic and cause infection. The pathogen-derived from one's own microbiota is called endogenous pathogen.
According to the given information, <em>Candida albicans </em>is a part of the microflora of mouth but becomes pathogenic under certain conditions. In healthy individuals, they do not produce disease as their overgrowth is suppressed by other microbiota and other host resistance mechanisms. The infection occurs only in those individuals with predisposing factors such as weakened immune system or after consumption of antibacterial medications that disturb the normal microbiota and immune competency. This makes it an opportunistic, endogenous pathogen.
