Question

a population of dogs has three alleles for teeth size: l (large), m (medium), and s (small). individuals with ss, sm, and sl have small teeth. individuals with mm have medium teeth. individuals with ll or lm have large teeth. after a strange viral disease infected the population of dogs, none of the small - toothed individuals survived. what will happen to the population after 10 generations? only small teeth will be present. all three teeth types will be present. medium teeth will be missing. only large teeth will be present. small teeth will be missing.

Explanation:

Small-toothed individuals (SS, SM, SL) did not survive the disease, so they cannot pass on the S allele to offspring. Over generations, the S allele will be eliminated from the population, resulting in no small teeth. Medium (MM) and large (LL, LM) teeth types (from L and M alleles) will remain.

Answer:

E. Small teeth will be missing.
