A special group of chemical substances that are used to treat diseases caused by microbes are called antibiotics.

An antibiotic is a chemical compound that is toxic to other bacteria and is produced by a living thing, usually a bacterium. In a complex environment like soil, organisms undoubtedly use antibiotics to regulate the growth of competing microbes. Soil microorganisms frequently produce antibiotics.

Bacteria and fungi are microorganisms that produce antibiotics that help prevent or treat disease. With the invention of penicillin in 1941, antibiotics gained widespread recognition. Since then, they have fundamentally changed how bacterial infections in humans and other animals are treated.

A daughter has hemophilia a recessive sex-linked what are the possible genotypes of her parents
marishachu [46]

Answer:

If a female child has hemophilia it is possible that the mother is a carrier of the hemophilia gene and the father has hemophilia.

Explanation:

  • A daughter gets X chromosome from both her parents.
  • It is generally seen in males.
  • Hemophilia is generally recessive in females.They act as carriers of hemophilia. This occurs because they have a X chromosome that dominates the hemophilia affected gene that they inherit from any parent.
  • But, if both the parents have faulty genes ,i.e the mother is the carrier of the gene and the father is hemophiliac, then the chances are the daughter has hemophilia too.

Why is genetic variation important? Select all that apply:

Genetic variation in a group of organisms enables some organisms to survive better than others in the environment in which they live. Organisms of even a small population can differ strikingly in terms of how well suited they are for life in a certain environment.

Genetic variations are important because a diverse gene pool is good for long-term survival of a species since the environment is always changing, so the diversity of DNA offers the most fit of the species a better chance of surviving because they are most adapted to the constantly changing environment.
