"Explain to us how recessive traits work in bacteria." Oddly enough, that was the post that started the silliness about recessive traits in bacteria.

We laughed a lot, and now that I've have a few moments to go back and read your responses, it's clear the derision was justified.

I didn't said bacteria don't have recessive traits. You read it that way, but that wasn't what I said.

What I said was "Explain to us how recessive traits work in bacteria." I'm still waiting. The question still stands.

We were discussing mutations in a colony of bacteria that started with one individual. You asserted the antibiotic resistance gene was already present, and then mentioned recessive traits.

So back to the original post: Explain to us how recessive traits work in bacteria.

I think he kind of wishes he hadn't gone where he did with hidden alleles as the answer to the before-your-eyes adaptiveness of bacteria. He has established that a bacterial allele can be unexpressed, "hidden," if only once in a blue moon.

There will be no dragging him back to the problem to which said phenomenon is not an answer at all.

Yawn... Yet another pitiful little Darwinist falls after tilting at their imaginary windmills of psuedo-science.
