When the resident microbiota prevents the establishment of a pathogen, it is called _______.

1 answer:

3 0

Microbial antagonism is the inhibition of pathogens growth by antagonist microbiota. When the resident microbiota prevents the establishment of a pathogen, it is called Microbial antagonism.

<h3>What are antagonist microbiota?</h3>

Antagonist microbiota are the organisms, like bacteria or fungi, capable of acting as a biological control to avoid other pathogenic agents' establishment.

These organisms share three characteristics,

a) capability to quickly colonize a new surface and effectively persist on it

b) better ability than the pathogen to get nutrients

c) the capability of surviving under different environmental conditions.

These antagonists are

genetically stable,
their nutritious requirements are not demanding,
they are capable of surviving under adverse environmental conditions,
they have a high reproductive capability, and
are not pathogenic to their host.

The mechanisms these antagonists use to inhibit the pathogen growth and establishment are among others, antibiosis, competition for resources, lytic enzyme production, and parasitism.

When the resident microbiota prevents the establishment of a pathogen, it is called _microbial antagonism_.

A twin study is conducted to examine the role of genetics and environment on the fondness of individuals for chocolate. Which of

djyliett [7]

"Identical twins are more similar on the trait than fraternal twins" would lead to the conclusion that genetic factors are important in the development of this trait.

Option: C

Explanation:

Research performed on identical or fraternal twins are twin investigations. We seek to expose the significance for characteristics, phenotypes and diseases of environmental and genetic factors. Twin work is considered a key instrument in the domains of behavioral genetics and material, from biology to psychology.

Fraternal or dizygous twins each share around 50 % of their DNA, just like any other parent. Since the twins are born into the same family they share other factors of their surroundings. The existence of a given genetic or phenotypic trait in just one component of a pair of twins called discordance offers a valuable insight into influence on such a trait on climate.

Explain how an unbalanced translocation occurs and how it affects humans

Serga [27]

Translocations may be balanced when there is an even exchange of material with no genetic information extra or missing, and ideally full functionality. Or can be unbalanced where the exchange of chromosome material is unequal resulting in extra or missing genes. For example a child who has an unbalanced translocation may have learning disabilities, developmental delay and health problems. The seriousness of the disability depends on exactly which parts of which chromosomes are involved and how much missing or extra chromosome material present.

Which type of mutation is responsible for small changes in a trait

Naddika [18.5K]

Substituion mutation is responsible for small changes in a trait.

Explanation:

This kind of mutation merely changes the type of nucleotide in the DNA sequence. The mutation does not cause a frameshift as would a deletion of addition mutation.

A substitution mutation would at worst change an amino acid in the translated protein. This would likely have a slight effect on how the protein folds into an active protein. On the other hand, mutations that cause frameshifts have the biggest effect on the proteins. They change all the amino acids of a protein downstream of the point of mutation.
