Some individuals have a mutated recessive allele and a homozygous individual is resistant to HIV infection and AIDS. Some populations have a high frequency of the mutant allele. What inference can be made about the mutant allele? (1 point)


Heterozygous individuals must be genetically advantaged even if they are not resistant to HIV.
The mutated allele must have developed and been acquired by many people before exposure to the virus.
The mutated allele must not be inherited by offspring or the disease would be close to eradication.
Being homozygous is an advantage for the mutated allele, while being heterozygous is a genetic disadvantage.
