If the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus experiences a cost for maintaining one or more antibiotic-resistance genes, what would happen in environments that lack antibiotics?

#SCPH28 | Zoology
  1. These genes would be maintained in case the antibiotics appear.

  2. These bacteria would be outcompeted and replaced by bacteria that have lost these genes.

  3. These bacteria would try to make the cost worthwhile by locating and migrating to microenvironments where traces of antibiotics are present.

  4. The number of genes conveying antibiotic resistance would increase in these bacteria.

In the following example, 3 independently assorting genes A, B and C are known to govern coat color in mice. Homozygous recessive cc (albino phenotype) is epistatic over both gene A and B, What will be the expected frequency of non albino, in the progeny from cross of AaBbCc with genotype of AABbCc?
