Biofilms are resistant to antimicrobial chemicals due to genetic diversity.

<h3>How do biofilms increase antibiotic resistance?</h3>

Biofilms are considered as a reservoir of genetic diversity. The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes increase in biofilm due to horizontal gene transfer (HGT).

HGT can happen through the transfer of plasmids among microorganism cells in a biofilm through conjugation so that's why the antimicrobial resistance is higher in a biofilm than in free-floating bacterial cells.

Question 9 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
Vilka [71]

The two organisms that are most closely related according to Linnaean taxonomy are <em>Felis catus</em> and <em>Panthera pardalis</em>, because they belong to the same family

<h3>What is taxonomic classification?</h3>

Linnaean system of classification consists of a hierarchy of groupings called taxon. Each taxon is arranged in a hierarchical order.

The hierarchical arrangement of the taxon are as follows:

  1. Kingdom
  2. Phylum/Division
  3. Class
  4. Order
  5. Family
  6. Genus
  7. Species

These taxa are arranged from the most inclusive to the most exclusive i.e. members of the same species are the most closely related in that order.

This suggests that <em>Felis catus</em> and <em>Panthera pardalis</em> are the most closely related because they belong to the same family.
