Which is a reason for antimicrobial resistance being higher in a biofilm than in free-floating bacterial cells

Biology

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.

Which two species are likely to have the most similar dna base sequences?
saul85 [17]
Based on the attached Image;
The two species that are likely to have the most similar DNA base sequences are C and D. 
An evolutionary tree or a phylogenetic tree, like the one shown on the image is used to indicate which ancestors gave rise to which descendants.

Which is not evidence for the endosymbiotic origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Zolol [24]

Mitochondria and chloroplast have similar DNA, which is not evidence for the endosymbiotic origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts.

According to the endosymbiotic theory, a chloroplast and a mitochondria were the independent prokaryotes. Both can be ingested by a large prokaryote and resist digestion. As a result, they continued as endosymbionts and eventually lost some of their autonomic properties. They divide by binary fission, have their own genetic material, possess 70s ribosomes, and Both include their own transcriptional and translational machinery.

Therefore, considering endosymbiotic origin theory, Both Mitochondria and chloroplast have similar DNA is not a piece of evidence.
