A gene can have many alleles. Why is it that any given person only carries two copies of each allele

Since diploid organisms have two copies of each chromosome, they have two of each gene. Since genes come in more than one version, an organism can have two of the same alleles of a gene, or two different alleles. This is important because alleles can be dominant, recessive, or codominant to each other.

Drug-resistant populations of microbes arise when
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.

Which situation is in equilibrium
Vikki [24]

Answer: D) The amount of air in a room never changes.

Explanation: Equilibrium is defined as the state in which the concentration of reactants and products is constant or the rate of forward direction is equal to the rate of backward direction.

a) The percentage of nitrogen gas in a room decreases steadily: the amount decreases that means the reaction is taking place in one direction and hence the reaction is not in equilibrium.

b) A blade of grass grows taller : the plant gets taller that means the reaction is taking place in one direction and hence the reaction is not in equilibrium.

c) The amount of water in a cup decreases as it evaporates: The amount of water is decreasing that means the reaction is taking place in one direction and hence the reaction is not in equilibrium.

d) The amount of air in a room never changes: the amount of air does not change as the amount of air leaving the room is same as that of the air entering the room and hence the  reaction is in equilibrium.
