Answer:

Explanation:

Many of us are familiar with term “antibacterial” – the type of technologies that are widely used to treat fabrics, plastics and coatings to prevent bacteria.

They work by inhibiting the growth of and/or destroying unwanted microorganisms that are growing and replicating on surfaces or in fabrics.

These agents are well known for actively helping to keep surfaces cleaner, reducing odours and making product last longer; however, what is less commonly known is that products that help us control these microorganisms are divided into two general categories: bactericidal and bacteriostatic.

When you say each of the category titles out loud, they sound quite similar; however, there are specific defining features that help us to categorize different types of antimicrobials.

While we discuss what makes each category unique, it is important to keep in mind that at a certain level (or dosage) the “lines” may become blurred as to which of these categories the antibiotic truly belongs in.

For example, if the concentration of a bacteriostatic treatment is particularly high, it may perform in ways that are more reflective of the characteristics you would expect to see in a bactericidal, however, this does not mean the technology is inherently bactericidal.

Can you please help me!? ​
monitta

Answer:

You need to compare the location of bands for X and X's child. X is the mother, so the child will have half of all its bands from its mother, and the other half must be from the father. Some bands that X and X's child have in common are at around 185bp and 130bp (it is difficult for me to determine the exact position). Then look at the bands which X and X's child do not have in common. Those bands must have come from the father. So now you compare the remaining bands to all the bands of Megabucks and see if they match up. You can see a band at around 60bp that the child has. The mother did not have this band, so it must have come from the father. Megabucks does not have this band, so he is not X's father.

Explanation:

I hope this has helped you a little. The main thing to know is that a child's bands come from their mother and father, so if half the bands match up to the mum, the other half have to match up to some of the father's bands. But a child will never have the same set of bands as one of their parents - it will be a mix of both parents' bands.

Answer:

If the parent reproduces sexually, it's offspring will inherit exactly half of it's DNA. The other half is inherited from the other parent. If the parent reproduces asexually, it's offspring will be a clone (i.e. have the same DNA).
