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.

Given what you know about genetics and molecular biology, describe another way you might be able to identify specific bacteria
REY [17]

Answer:

Morphology

Explanation:

Bacteria are usually identified by using standard molecular biology procedures, being the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) the most widely used technique for this purpose. The identification by PCR consists of the amplification and visualization of specific DNA sequences that can be obtained from different individuals, strains, species, etc. However, it is also possible to identify bacteria with a microscope, i.e., by observing taxonomical characteristics that allow to differentiate specific bacteria.

Which situation would result with older sediments overlying younger sedimentary rocks?
Eddi Din [679]
By nature, younger rocks will be on top of older sediments; however, sometimes a break in the Earth's crust occurs, causing younger sedimentary rocks to fall into the crack, where they are covered with older sediments. This is called a thrust faulting.

Answer:

The virus lacks strcutures to replicate genetic material.

Explanation:

They can replicate it, but don't have structures to do it without the help of a cell. They USE the cell to replicate it but cannot do it themself.

Virus lacks genetic matrial? It has DNA.

Protective outer shell? Ptotection has nothing to do with it.

Movement? They cannot duplicate without cells.
