The correct answer is A.
The use of antibacterial drugs can cause modifications in the genetic material of the concerned bacteria. If the genetic material of the bacteria are modify, that means they have undergone mutation. Because the base sequence of the normal and that of the mutated gene is different, antibiotic will not be able to recognize the bacteria again and thus will not be able to attack it.

Answer:

TAAGCCATGACATGATCG

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, typically to a messenger RNA (mRNA). During transcription, a particular DNA sequence called 'gene' is used as template to create an mRNA which is subsequently used to synthesize a protein by the process of translation. During this process (transcription), Uracil (U) bases pair with Adenine (A) and replace thymine (T) bases in RNA.

How does energy move through your ecosystem? think about the producers (plants) and how energy moves from producers to other org
GrogVix [38]
The Sun provides energy for the plants (producers) to grow. Herbivores (primary consumers) then eat the producers for energy. Any animals that eat the herbivores are considered secondary consumers. As this cycle continues, energy is lost to the environment as heat.

(b) Describe the characteristics of the interior of the aquaporin channel protein that allow water to flow through AND exclude g
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Aquaporin protein is a type of protein composed of a bundle of six transmembrane α-helices.

Explanation:

Aquaporin protein is a type of protein composed of a bundle of six transmembrane α-helices. These aquaporin protein have different size of water channels that allow water through to pass through it but it does not allow glucose to move through it due to its large size. The direction of water movement is toward the cell because there is low water inside the cell as compared to outside environment so the water moves inside the cell and  rate of water movement slows down over time due to filling of empty spaces with water.
