Answer:

It reduces genetic diversity and increases the proportion of deleterious recessive alleles

Explanation:

Inbreeding occurs when two genetically-related organisms mate and produce offspring. The breeding of genetically close individuals results in a loss of genetic variation in the population, as there is less "mixing" of different alleles to produce heterozygous (possess 2 different alleles) individuals.

This means that there is an increased chance that any deleterious alleles will become expressed (as there is less variation and more likely that homozygous individuals exist). These can be deleterious and potentially disease-causing. This reduces the fitness of the population.

An antibiotic was effective 20 years ago against a specific type of a specific type of bacterial infection no longer works again

Sliva [168]

c. Resistant bacteria have survived and reproduced at a greater rate than nonresistant bacteria

Explanation:

The antibiotic is no longer effective as it was 20 years ago because the resistant bacterial have survived and reproduced at a greater rate than the non-resistant bacteria.

The antibiotics have specifically designed to exterminate the disease causing bacteria strain from the body.
While at that point in time, it is potent and does the work. Along the line, it will cause the structures of some other strains to change.
This will lead to the development of resistant breeds with time.
The resistant breed will then be able to survive the onslaught of the antibiotics making it not a good fit.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Explanation:

LPG gas is basically propane and butane, and it is odourless in its natural state. The smell that you notice when there is a leak is actually the stench of an entirely different agent, called Ethyl Mercaptan (C2H6S). This substance is added to the gas when it leaves the main storage terminals.
