The rise of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be considered to be an example of artificial selection becaus

e A) humans purposefully raise MRSA in large fermenters in an attempt to make the bacteria ever-more resistant. B) S. aureus is cultivated by humans to replenish the soil with nutrients. C) humans synthesize methicillin and create environments in which bacteria frequently come into contact with methicillin. D) Humans are becoming resistant to bacteria by taking methicillin.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Frequent exposure of Staphylococcus aureus methicillin by humans – such as through excessive use of non-prescribed antibiotics-, the rate of mutations in the bacteria population increases. This results to increases chances that a mutant will develop that is resistant to methicilin. Once a mutant develops, its population increases even when exposed to the antibiotic because it is resistant to methicilin.  Bacteria also exchange genetic material horizontally so the gene for resistance will quickly spread in a population. This results in MRSA that is hard to eradicate.

The right answer is genotype.

The genotype is the information carried by the genome of an organism, contained in each cell in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid DNA. Carried by the chromosomes, it is located inside the nucleus in eukaryotes and in cytoplasm in prokaryotes.

In humans, it is estimated that the number of genes is between 25,000 and 30,000.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

I believe this is C) ecosystem impact

Explanation:

The interactions between human population dynamics and the environment have often been viewed mechanistically. This review elucidates the complexities and contextual specificities of population-environment relationships in a number of domains. It explores the ways in which demographers and other social scientists have sought to understand the relationships among a full range of population dynamics (e.g., population size, growth, density, age and sex composition, migration, urbanization, vital rates) and environmental changes. The chapter briefly reviews a number of the theories for understanding population and the environment and then proceeds to provide a state-of-the-art review of studies that have examined population dynamics and their relationship to five environmental issue areas. The review concludes by relating population-environment research to emerging work on human-environment systems.

Ecosystems include food webs that show predation and prey interactions among organisms. But ecosystems have many more relationsh
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Food webs describe the relationships — links or connections — among species in an ecosystem, but the relationships vary in their importance to energy flow and dynamics of species populations. Some trophic relationships are more important than others in dictating how energy flows through ecosystems. Some connections are more influential on species population change. Based on different ways in which species influence one another, Robert Paine proposed three types of food webs based on the species of a rocky intertidal zone on the coast of Washington (Ricklefs 2008, Figure 2). Connectedness webs (or topological food webs) emphasize feeding relationships among species, portrayed as links in a food web (Paine 1980). Energy flow webs quantify energy flow from one species to another. Thickness of an arrow reflects the strength of the relationship. Functional webs (or interaction food webs) represent the importance of each species in maintaining the integrity of a community and reflect influence on the growth rate of other species' populations. As shown in Figure 2, limpets Acmaea pelta and A. mitra in the community consume considerable food energy (energy flow web), but removal of these consumers has no detectable influence on the abundance of their resources (functional web). The most effective control was exerted by sea urchin Stronglocentrotus and the chiton Katharina (Ricklefs 2008).
