Sulfa drugs work on folic acid biosynthesis.

<h3>Sulfa drugs :</h3>

Dihydropteroate synthase is a particular enzyme that sulfa medicines bind to and block (DHPS). The creation of the important vitamin folate depends on this enzyme. Folate is a nutrient that mammals obtain from their diet, but bacteria must make it.

Any member of a class of synthetic antibiotics with the sulfanilamide molecular structure is referred to as a sulfa medication, sometimes known as a sulfonamide. The first systematically utilized chemical compounds to treat and prevent bacterial infections in humans were sulfa medicines. Due to the emergence of safer, more effective antibiotics as well as the rise in drug resistance, their use has decreased. Sulfonamides are still used, but mostly to treat and prevent infections from burns and urinary tract infections. Additionally, they are employed in the management of some types of malaria.

Name the three types of population distribution, describe each, and explain the conditions that govern each.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: Population distributions may be described as <em>random, uniform</em><em> or </em><em>clustered.</em>

Explanation:

In a specified region, a population comprises any  number of members of the same species. Populations are described by sizes- the number of individuals; densities-  individuals in a set space (per unit area); and distribution- the dispersal or non dispersal of individuals (spread out or clumped). Population distributions may be described in three ways:

  • Random: the distribution pattern is haphazard, with no regular spacing; individuals grow independently of each other without competing and resources are consistent. <em>E.g. dandelion seed dispersal by wind </em>

  • Uniform:  individuals are evenly spaced in a predictable pattern; there may be some interaction and ideally, spaces between them  are maximized in order to ensure access to limited nutrients and resources.<em> E.g.  human farming- cornfields, orchards; allelopathy in plants like purple sage, which secretes chemicals to prevent the growth of other plants nearby</em>

  • Clumped: there is less distance between neighboring organisms and these individuals cluster together. This pattern is most common in environments where resources are scarce, or the species is dependent on social interactions.<em> E.g. lions are highly social and hunt in prides in the wild</em>

Natural selection has not eliminated many harmful conditions and nonadaptive characteristics that appear during old age. This is
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The theory of aging evolution

Explanation:

The theory of aging evolution seeks to investigate the reasons why living beings begin a degeneration process at a certain age, among the various theories proposed is that of <em>Peter Brian Medawar</em> proposed in 1952, who claimed that natural selection avoided these mutations malignant <em>during the reproductive stage</em> to avoid the reduction of the population, however once this stage concluded the selection allowed them to manifest themselves.
