(a) In human populations where HIV infection is common, are the frequencies of these "resistance genes" increasing, decreasing, or staying about the same? Explain your reasoning.

Increasing

Explanation:

This particular question or problem can be likened to a deductive reasoning. The viral disease known as HIV stand for Human Immunodeficiency Virus which is a disease that damages the immune system of anyone affected with the disease. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus goes through four main stages or steps that is to say the infection stage/step, the stages in which the symptoms does not show, the stages at which the symptoms start to show and the stage at which the Human Immunodeficiency Virus goes or turns to AIDS.

The frequencies of these "resistance genes" In human populations where HIV infection is common will increase. When Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection is common, people in  that particular society will develop more resistance to the virus and the survival of the fittest is taken into account as people with more resistance tends to be more healthier than the ones with less resistance.

a- all cells come from pre-existing cells

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.
